I should probably start by explaining what tonsil stones are. I had never seen one before, much less heard about them. Maybe I’m the only one who knows about them; perhaps all of you readers are. However, perhaps not.
According to the Mayo Clinic, tonsil stones are hard, yellow or white growths that develop on the tonsils. They are generally treatable with home remedies and are neither painful nor toxic.The primary causes of tonsil stones are debris and trapped materials in the tonsillar crypts, which are found in the tonsils, those oval-shaped flaps of tissue at the back of your throat that fight infections. This can include food or detritus, bacteria and fungi, minerals like calcium, and more.
Though they don’t always cause symptoms, tonsil stones are more common than one may imagine. These symptoms can include, but are not limited to, coughing, earaches, sore throats, and foul breath.
An estimated 3 million Americans get tonsil stones annually, but fortunately, getting rid of them is a rather straightforward process. They can actually be removed at home using a number of techniques, such as gargling with salt water and applying a sensitive item, such as a cotton swab.
Furthermore, merely coughing vigorously can actually release and raise the stones.
