I have tonsil stones in my tonsils all the time. How can I stop this?Tonsil stones always find a way to dig a hole in an area of my tonsil and get trapped in there. The last few months, they have found two places in my right tonsil to hide. I had to push them out with a toothpick or my finger. im not talkin bout just one small one...no... lots of them!!! I also have a problem with post nasal drip and mucus due to allergies and what not. When I ask my doctor about it, she just waves it off. HELP!

Never heard of this but my best information is to get your tonsils removed. Not sure how old you are but the younger the better. I had to have mine removed at 18 and I thought I was going to die. My daughter had to have hers removed at 17 and she had a hard time. Expect to loses at least 5 to 10 pounds because you will not want to eat.

Tonsil stones are not bad. However, they are annoying. You could have your tonsils removed but if you are over the age of about 16 it can be a nightmare. I had mine out in Jan aged 21 and I would have gladly died on about day 6, I did survive though. I ahve heard that the more you remove the stones the worse it gets, don't know if it's true. I only had them for a few weeks before having my tonsils removed because they were enlarged. See an Ear Nose and Throat surgeon and see what they say, they may remove them but I think they try and avoid that now. Some people sweat by mouth wash or using a syringe, minus the needle tip to either suck them out or filling it with salty water and 'shooting' them, I guess that would work the best becuase your not poking the tissue and making it sore/ cuts and salt water will probably hep with the bacteria. You could also try brushing your teeth and using mouth wash after each meal which isn't always practical. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Okay. Step one will be to get rid of the allergies, as the post nasal drip is your biggest problem. I have tried a lot of stuff, but for me, a nasal spray called inflanaize works best. Just ask your doctor to show you the correct way to apply this as that is key. In my country there is also a cheaper, generic product called beclate aquanaise that works just as well.(just smells worse). This You have to use chronically.
Step two is to cut back on dairy. Using Soy milk instead of normal milk will help a lot.
Step three is just normal good oral hygiene. Invest in a cheap tongue scraper, as tonsil stones are usually accompanied by a yelowish, white coating on the tongue.
Be careful of poking things into your tonsils, as they are quite delicate and can tear and bleed rather profusely if you are not carefull.
Well, that is the best I can do for you. Hope you get cured of this annoying problem.
