The best way to get rid of Tonsil stones is with a water pic . It blasts them right out of there and it gets the ones that you cant even see . It works everytime .
guest commented on 01 May 2010, 07:54:05 my gag reflex is also very bad. i have to wash my hands and use my finger to massage my right tonsil. i had 2 cases of tonsillitis in the Fall of 09 and ever since then my right tonsil has been swollen with tonsil stones growing almost every day. i can feel when they are there and also taste them when i swallow. whenever i see them i feel like they must come out before i get sick. i was able to get a few pieces out, but i would really like to know what it's like to not have them at all. i gargle with warm salt water but it never seems to do anything. when i gargle i like to move my mouth as if i'm saying "OWOWOWOW" while im gargling. any other advice?
guest commented on 05 May 2010, 12:16:43 I have had tonsil stones since I was seven. I have OCD and am obsessed with them. I spend hours a day thinking about them.
I find that a cosmetic mirror that has a magnifying side to it helps. I usually use a flashlight and pop the stones out with a q-tip I hold in the other hand.
Nick commented on 08 May 2010, 20:39:34 Glad I found this thread. I've had tonsil stones, since I was a young child. I'm mid-thirties now. I usually just put up with the stones until they get big enough for me to pick them out of my throat with my tongue. But, as I get older, they keep getting bigger and harder to dislodge. And I can tell there are more behind the ones I pick out. I just bought a waterpik. Sounds like I should be careful with it. I'll have to use the lower pressure pik first. Then, I'll see if I can prevent them. From what I've read, it sounds like gargling with listerine could help prevent the stones.
Good luck to all with getting rid of this unwelcomed distraction.
guest commented on 17 May 2010, 06:53:00 I am 34 years old. I have had these tonsil stones for years. recently, my right side of my mouth is inflamed. I am in some discomfort! should I go see a doctor or wait it out?
Jaimie commented on 18 May 2010, 18:24:47 Ugh. these things are So gross and they are driving me nuts. NO ONE else I know except my father gets them. they smell and taste SO bad. I currently have one in my right tonsil I can feel and taste but cannot get out. i have tried cotton swabs, toothpicks, straws, gargling. all im doing is making my throat bleed really bad. ive become onsessive about it because I cannot stand the taste in my mouth! I can see it. but when i poke it its like i push it back and it hides. ive torn apart my throat trying to get it out. and I cant! Ive used dull tweezers and got some of it out but it seems theres several small peices.
guest commented on 11 Jun 2010, 06:19:37 hahaha...some comments here are so funny, read mine. One time I was googling white balls in back of throat...can you imagine my 12 year old son when he saw this in the history????lol...anyways I am trying a bunch of stuff on here and will try the apple cider soon...thanks..they are stanky for sure and if you like to smell them after knowing how bad they smell...you are a smell-freak...lol
guest commented on 22 Jun 2010, 12:52:33 Ive had these tonsil stones for about 5 years now. At first I had no idea what they were. I would spit them up out of nowhere and then my sister told me she was having the same problem. We both discovered it around the same time, so I assumed that we had some type of contagious disease!!! I asked my doc and he said it ws just food debri. I later found out what they really were...and they are no joke!! I am very self conscience because of this. I literally push on my tonsil and it pours out of several different holes. I now pick it out every night because I cant stand the thought of it being there!!! Its so disgusting and I just want my tonsils out NOW. I have it on both tonsils...and its amazing how large the crypts are. My sis and I both suffered from chronic tonsilitis as kids and thats why we have it so bad. My hubby swears that he has never smelled anything bad on my breath...but I am still very self conscience about it. I never go anywhere w/out gum. I feel like a prisoner in my own body!!! I have nightmares about these things and I dont know what to do!!
Got it. commented on 23 Jun 2010, 14:47:31 I recently noticed a lump in my throat and naturally thought the worst, "the c word". Then I started reading other peoples comments. Unable to see any stones I purchased a small light and mirror. After a trip to the doctor and antibiotics, two weeks of hell, I got it. It was a big one about the size of a raisin. What a relief. Don't give up, just keep after them.
guest commented on 26 Jun 2010, 22:38:07 I am almost over having a really bad tonsil stone case this week. My remedy was that I gargled salt water once in the morning and once before I went to sleep, however I also gargled about twice during the day when it was the biggest. The salt water caused it to dissolve and now it is almost completely gone. Avoid sugar and honey and practically anything sweet as it will irritate the tonsils and throat, causing the tonsils to swell up. It is best to drink fruit tea with no sugar or honey added to it for a quick recovery.
My case was caused by me being sick with a cold and then going on a big cleaning spree, which caused the tonsil stone to show up.
guest commented on 27 Jun 2010, 16:48:48 This will help,
1. take time to sniff spit and snort out all phlegm. You can also sniff small amounts of water to clean your nose. Dunk face in cold water. The shock will make your nose run. Dont eat bogies. Spit phlegm out, dont swallow.
2. Clean teeth throughly and tongue 2 x daily
3. Mouthwash, cheap alternatives salt water, apple cidervinegar.
4. Stop smoking. Nothing worse than smoky toenail breath.
5. Chew gum daily after meals
guest commented on 28 Jun 2010, 23:05:23 Hey, so turns out ive found a sort of way to remove them without fussing around with stuff. It worked well for me, and mine were stuck well in there, to the point that a finger and cotton swabs could not remove them. Im going to try and describe what i do to get rid of them:
1. open your mouth, and take a regular inhale.
2. Hole your nose, and take the same, regular inhale.
3. Tighten your throat - everyone has control of the muscles in their throat, but the tightening is produced as you swallow, so just immitate the tightening that your throat does when you swallow.
4. Whilst holding this tightness in your throat, and holding your nose, inhale again, and there will be a deep throat sounding rasping noise. Do this, and try to focus the inhale so that air passes over which ever side of your mouth which the tonsil with the stones is on.
5. Keep doing this, and checking every so often, so see if the stone has moved. For me, they went from invisable, to protruding, and then i coughed them out after about 1 minute of air sucking.
Give it a go - it worked for me, and mine were stuck pretty tight.
Betty commented on 08 Jul 2010, 12:46:55 I am not able to see my tonsil stones but I feel them. How are you able to get the stones if you are unable to see it?

In developing countries, this is often confused with central planning. Financial control does not mean the waste of precious management resources on verifying petty expenses. Nor does it mean a budget which goes to such details as how many tea bags will be consumed by whom and where. Managers in developing countries still feel that they are being supervised and followed, that they have quotas to complete, that they have to act as though they are busy (even if they are, in reality, most of the time, idle). So, they engage in the old time central planning and they do it through the budget. This is wrong.

Mandie from Michigan commented on 19 Jul 2010, 20:30:21 I too have been suffering these 'devil balls' for years. I am 25, but remember coughing up what felt like bits of peanuts in the morning. I constantly feel like I have something in the back of my throat, but I can never see a tonsil stone. I am going to pressing on different spots in the back of my throat and see what happens. I coughed up 2 of these disgusting balls this month, but I don't want to wait to cough them up. Anyone suggest exactly where to apply pressure? Are they inside your tonsils or just below it? I have these smallish looking holes back the the base of my tongue. Is this where they are coming from? Ugh, I feel so ashamed when I talk to people. I constantly chew mint flavored gum. I can taste them even when I drink water. This is a nightmare, because it seems like my breath really really stinks!
guest commented on 24 Jul 2010, 16:32:46 I had my TONSILS REMOVED AT AGE 2 but still had tonsil stones. My boyfriend told me my breath was very bad so I went to the ENT. He pulled 2 white things from my mouth and said I had tonsil stones. I have a heavy post nasal drip and reflux, which also creates mucus in the throat. I believe that is what is aiding in the formation of the stones. I see I have them again. Thanks to this forum, I purchased a blemish extractor from Sephora, a bendable LED book light, Mighty Bight, and some alcohol for disinfection. After 2 days and many tries I was able to get the large one out - it was embedded in there. I still have not been able to remove the small one but will continue to try. I also purchased a pulsating nasal instigator. I haven't received it yet. I am hoping that will cut down on the drip.
JJ commented on 25 Jul 2010, 07:49:52 I dont know what to do with mine there getting bigger and are hurting even more every day. Plus i have an istant gag reflex and i've tried gargling. What should i do????
guest commented on 28 Jul 2010, 21:15:59 for better breath use cloves.. chew on them. to get rid of the tonsil stones, make yourself gag. I read it could be candida, a fungus that can grow in your body. To get rid of that I may have to take Treelac and change my diet. That's all I know so far.
guest commented on 02 Aug 2010, 18:11:08 I started getting tonsil stones about the same time that I developed a serious gluten allergy that is most likely celiacs. Food allergies can cause a lot of crazy problems that you wouldn't think would be related. I know that milk protein does increase mucus. They were getting ready to put tubes in my 4 year olds ears when the ENT told me to try cutting out milk protein. It took about 5 weeks but worked. Then, when I reintroduced milk, the symptoms came back. I can never see my tonsil stones - they seem to be in the very back and my tonsils are so big and have deep holes. My ENT told me to gargle every day. He said he doesn't care what I gargle with that it is the vibration that gets them out. I like to gargle with apple cidar vinegar, sea salt and water mixture. I've been gluten free for 1 month - hoping that helps too.
guest commented on 02 Aug 2010, 18:13:11 BTW - my ENT said one of his patients coughed up a tonsil stone on the back of someones neck at church. Please cover your mouth when you cough!
Kasie, US commented on 05 Aug 2010, 15:34:32 Oh my gosh i can not believe i found other people that have these Smelly crappy stones like me!! No one in my family suffers from this not even my friends. I hate these things. I have tried ,q-tip's, tweezers and even a paper clips all of these thing make me gag every time!! Anyone have another ideas to pick them out? I am going to try brushing my teeth with baking soda, gargling with apple cider vinegar and gargling with peroxide twice a day it seems a lil extreme to use all of these twice a day but i will do anything to get rid of these smelly stones... wish me luck!! Good luck to all of you that r trying too!!!

YES! I use to smoke weed heavily and I got these frigging things. I recently quit, and didn't notice these white little sick things had left/ Other day I smoked some weed and I got them again. I don't like weed anymore, I wake up feeling like I've been punched in the face, dehydrated, and get those white balls. I definitely link the two for me.
bjfcheerpsycho11 commented on 15 Aug 2010, 12:59:25 i have TS but they are so far back that i cant see them. they give sore throats and clog up my throat:( any suggestions?
I have suffered from these nasty critters [tonsil stones] for years. I just accepted that I would always have them. However, since using the tonsil stone remedy I learned about on tonsilstones.net, I have not experienced even one tonsil stone. - Mike, Missouri USA
