Who has tonsil stones and how do you get rid of them?

Answer 1

Tonsil Stones are typically white, or whitish-yellow, irregularly-shaped, foul-smelling, and usually smaller than a pea. The tissue lining the tonsils is fairly sensitive, so people with this problem often report that they feel an irritation in the back of their throat and are able to pick these critters out of their tonsils. Under normal circumstances, as this mucosa sheds, the dead cells leave the crypts and are swallowed, but in some unlucky people, like you, the dead cells accumulate and glom together to form hard little balls. This makes great food for bacteria, and of course your oral cavity is colonized by all kinds of bacteria. The only sure method for ridding yourself of this problem is to have your tonsils removed), but there are non-surgical alternatives which you should certainly pursue.
– You could try gargling frequently with warm salt water (1 teaspoon of table salt mixed with one pint of water– gargle with about 1/4 cup of this mixture three times per day, after meals.)
– You could also gargle with a mouthwash called Alkalol, which is essentially salt water combined with a variety of natural aromatic extracts; some people prefer Alkalol to plain salt water. Most other commercial mouthwashes contain sugar or alcohol, which are pleasant-tasting but are, in the long run, fairly irritating if used frequently.
but if you want to get rid of them for good have your tonsils removed. goodluck and hope this helped.

Answer 2

I have never heard of Tonsil Stones.

Answer 3

These are tonsilloliths and I've never had them. Remove the tonsils or remove the calculi. See an ENT. An alternative to that is to gargle and rinse well with peroxide and use a nasal spray. Another is to remove them with a Water Pik or toothbrush. There lots of websites about tonsilloliths. You should visit a few.

Answer 4

THESE MEAN THAT YOUR TONSILS ARE HEALTHY AND DOING THEIR JOB. THE FACT YOU SAW THESE MEANS YOU RECENTLY HAD A POTENTIAL THROAT INFECTION WHICH THE TONSILS TOOK CARE OF.
THESE STONES USUALLY ARE LOST ON THEIR OWN, BUT CAN BE SAFELY REMOVED BY USING A WATERPIK TO GENTLY DISLODGE THEM.

Answer 5

i would always push on my tonsils around the hole area to get them out. the only way to truly never have them again is to get your tonsils out.
