Dealing with Tonsil Stones: Tips and Tricks

TONSIL STONES. I get them on the daily for weeks. Why? And how to manage? (Can it be a Food intolerance?) Doc just told me to keep my Dental hygiene up but it doesn’t work.

Do you have strep throat/bronchitis/tonsillitis? After getting strep for the 5th time I get tonsil stones daily now and the only way to stop is to get my tonsils removed. Sometimes I can go a week or 2 without any, but it's very rare. I knew someone in highschool and their tonsil stones were due to a medication side effect. I take my tonsil stones out with a wet q-tip as gently as possible, because it will cause bleeding. Or cough REALLY hard and they'll dislodge (cough face down into the sink or in a tissue, I've forgotten and coughed onto the mirror).
