They can cause symptoms such as bad breath, sore throat, earache, inflammation, and difficulty swallowing.
Treatment options for tonsil stones include coughing or sneezing them out, using a damp cotton tip or rubber tip to remove them, gargling with salt water, or undergoing coblation cryptolysis.
Prevention strategies include practicing good oral hygiene, using oral probiotics, staying hydrated, avoiding smoking and vaping, and being mindful of dietary contributions.
