My mum was sleeping right next to me and she's serious about sleeping so when I saw this I just laughed and cried mysoul out and yett did I know she smacked me
I know what you mean! It's just awful when it happens and you just know in that split second , pretty much as it's happening, but it's too late and there is nothing you can do to stop it!!! 😝
I’ve only swallowed them a couple of times 🤢 but I started to take a Q-tip and wet it or take the flat end of one of those blackhead tools and pop them out. I used to gag a lot at first but I’ve gotten used to it and can remove them easily with no pain or discomfort. I’ve noticed I get more when I drink milk.
I was plagued by tonsil stones but now that I'm wearing braces I no longer have them. I believe it's because my bite is aligning which helps my mouth self clean along with flossing and tongue scraping.
Some tips to prevent tonsil stones that work for me. 1. Besides the obvious brushing teeth in the morning/night. When brushing tongue, brush it as good as you can, gag a lot if you have to, it will loosen the stones. 2. Buy a tongue scraper (the metal ones are the best) 2. Get a curved syringe (like the ones they give you after you get wisdom teeth removed) squirt water directly at your tonsils after you eat to prevent them building up. 3. I know ppl suggest a water pik but unless it’s at a very low setting, it can actually cause your tonsils to bleed. The syringe is better. 4. Saltwater rinse. I find listerine didn’t help at all. The salt water gets rid of bacteria and also soothes throat. 5. Drink water! I know this is obvious but when you’re eating, drink water to make sure you’re flushing all your food down and reduce chances of food sitting on your tongue. I haven’t got any in almost 3 weeks since I started doing this. And I stick my tongue out to smell my breath (idk if that makes sense) and I don’t smell that tonsil stone smell so I know I don’t have any.
I agree with almost everything you said except I wanted to add to #5 that some people with Gastrointestinal problems can't drink water with their meal also just because you can't see them doesn't mean their not their. When I wear a mask I smell them so I decide to poke my tonsils and voila 3 came out. Unfortunately for some people like me you need surgery. I heard some people have had good results by omitting lactose, sugar and carbohydrates out of their diet. Try the keto diet some people have had good results from it.
@Ally Carraway I can't smell them on my tongue because I use a tongue scraper religously. When I don't use a mask I can't smell the ones in my throat. But boy when I wear a mask not only does my head hurt, I feel like I'm going to pass out.
Michelle Reed I feel like there’s a little piece of granola stuck in my throat and as it gets bigger I will get a cough like I’m sick and it comes out as I cough more. Ik I’m not sick with a cold or anything I just know it’s my body’s way of getting it out by itself the more I cough it will just get loose.
There are many components to the subject. One plan I discovered which successfully combines these is the Stone Treater Genie (check it out on google) without a doubt the most helpful resource i've seen. Check out the extraordinary info.
I have invented a good way to get them out. Take an empty tube from a sample sized toothpaste, punch a tiny hole in the cap. Fill it with water and squish the tube while aiming at tonsil stones, the stream of water will get them out... I was struggling for so many years getting them out with picks until I got this idea. Now they are not much of an issue anymore
Stephen Seychell I ate oatmeal and a banana in the morning, bagel and a green smoothie (pineapple, spinach, kale and mango) and rice with chicken and salad, and yogurt with berries and grains. First though, you need to get it out, and to make it stop coming I guess you just eat that for a while. After two months of eating that, i ate the same stuff I would normally eat. It stopped coming for me. ❤️ Although I'm not an expert in that kind of stuff, I really hope your tonsils come out and they stop coming. You need to get it removed by gargling salt water or putting your finger inside of it and popping it out
As someone who constantly has tonsil stones, when they get too uncomfortable I go to the ent doctor for them to take them out. They told me that a reason some people are more prone to having these is because of the way your tonsil is made, some people have way more "holes" in their tonsils so it's easier for food to get stuck there, but it also means that you're less likely to be sick all the time cause they also grab a lot of germes. All in all, super uncomfortable, you look crazy making faces trying to get them out and when they get out it's worth a mini celebration, but it never caused me actual health problems
I know people who brush their teeth regularly and are very hygienic however their breathe will still literally smell excuse the language but like actual feces. You have to get the tonsil stones out to prevent bad breathe as much as possible
I got my tonsils out because of them and still have bad breath. I also have white coating in the back of my tongue and dry mouth. Tried everything, went to so many doctors. It ruined my life!
Bad breath is a bad reason to get your tonsils removed they are good immune tissue. My doctor advised me not to removed my tonsils even though they were causing me acute sleep apnea.
I had these for years. I would get strep throat at least once a month! Mine were so big I could barely swallow at one point. So thankful to the ENT who took out my tonsils!
So that's what they're called! I had them pretty regularly in my 20's. They stopped forming once I began to clean my tongue regularly. No more tongue gunk, no more tonsil stones!
Had my tonsils removed a week ago today and so far it’s been a miserable experience but I’m excited to not have bad breath or deal with the throat pain anymore.
Brother is it safe to remove tonsil i mean tonsil surgery .......I have heard that it has sudden effect in your body like excessive weight gain suddenly or weight loss suddenly
Another way to help remove the stones is to use a glass (carefully) or hard acrylic medicine dropper (soft tube doesn't work). Gently squeeze the bulb, place the tip of the dropper on the stone, and release the bulb. The suction should grab hold of the stone and pull it out or suck it into the tube itself. Repeat if necessary.
Yeah, I also thought I was weird for a very long time and never talked to anyone about that :O I only found out that this is something normal a year back xD
I was really worried about this (and it got worse when this video came out, as scishow often does videos on deadly diseases as well) and as of now I still haven't watched it - I'm only looking through comments - but it's making me less worried. Phew.
Nice Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Parlandealey Mouth Cure Process (do a google search)? It is a good one off product for learning how to cure tonsil stones without the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my old buddy Taylor got great results with it.
I was able to remove mine with the tail of a teaspoon. At first, It was very hard to overcome the gag reflex, but no matter how sensitive you are, if you do it little by little, you do get used to it. In order to make it easier, I used ice, both in my mouth and on the teaspoon aswell so it made it a lot easier to work. I simply scraped the soft and stinky stones off the tonsils, gargled non-alcooholic mouthwash and I completely got rid of the discomfort I used to feel before.
Carlos Mojarro I would recommend brushing your teeth everyday after lunch, dinner, breakfast, you should also eat gum for 24 hours so no one would smell it.
Thank god I aint the only who has this stinky stuff stuck in my mouth. I feel like it always forms after I eat some dairy product, like cheese for instance. It's really a shame that there isnt enough research done on this issue
NightFury Well, that would be because it actually is rotting food. So yes, if you don't clean your mouth, you really will have breath that smells like a corpse
No my breath doesnt stink in general, I brush my teeth and clean my tongue twice a day. But when those white things randomly just push up from my throat to the mouth, it stinks like hell
I had this problem everyday of my life from the time I was a kid. I recently changed my diet to a lower carb and sugar diet and started eating more fresh veggies and fruit. And guess what happened? The stones went away. Seriously. First time ever in my life and they are gone. Totally convinced it comes from an unhealthy diet.
I went from a severely unhealthy diet full of sugar to diet of vegetables, lean meat, low carb and under 25g of sugar. Still get tonsil stones. Been getting them regularly since I was a kid.
Who else went half their life without knowing what tonsilloliths even were? (I did; well, I first heard about them a few months before, but I still went half my life not knowing what they were; I started getting tonsil stones in my early teens.)
I used to think there was nothing I could do about tonsil stones other than "popping them out". I could smell my breath was putrid and it gave me social anxiety talking to other people. There is a solution people - get a curved tip syringe and squirt water with it at your tonsils. It washes them out. I've been doing this for a couple of years now daily and although it's a pain, I don't need to worry about bad breath anymore. Life changing.
Some people need surgery to get them removed, just because you can't see them doesn't mean they are not their. I thought mine were gone then when I would wear my mask I smelled like tonsil breath and I poked my throat and surprise... I found 3. I'm trying to leave sugar, carbohydrates and lactose but it's extremely hard might just have to get the surgery.
I ended up having to get my tonsils removed due to my tonsil stones at the age of 22. Always had problems with my tonsils and ulcers, but once I reached my twenties, the stones became recurring. Went to an ENT and explained my situation of having a few tonsil stones about once a week. He looked in my throat for 5 seconds and was like “yeah those need to come out”. Get them removed 2 weeks later and he told me one pocket was just filled to the brim with them and causing irritation and swelling. Since then I haven’t had any problems with my throat in regards to soreness.
... so it's not normal to have like 5 every 2 days? My doctor said I shouldn't bother when I asked for removal of tonsils because it was getting annoying and I had to spend a lot of time every week getting them out, but now that you said it maybe I should ask different doctor...
@@cake1079 my dr also said the same thing but it’s so annoying to hv the stones.. I hv hidden ones and planning to go for tonsillectomy but not sure though.. did u get the tonsils out
I have always always scraped my tongue, always maintained hygiene and i still get them. I used to get really small ones and they smell horrible. My mouth never smells bad except for these tonsil stones 😂 I thought i was coughing up food particles and I was the only one. Today morning I coughed up a bigg one and I google “weird solid phlegm particles “ and that’s when I understood these are called tonsil stones!
Do you eat lots of processed yeasty white foods such as flours, breads, crackers? when broken down its broken into sugars too much will overfeed the natural yeast in your gut throwing all of it out of balance and thats when you start getting tonsil stones, slight or severe white coating on tongue, ringworm and so much more caused by the beautiful but despicable white fungi
this made me realize i’ve definitely coughed up these before 😂 just recently i’ve become conscious of the white spots on my tonsils when they’ve been there
For most of my childhood people had a hard time understanding me because my tonsils were super large and muffled my voice. My general practitioner at the time said that they were fine. A few years later they left and I went to a new GP, and upon discussion of my voice they sent me to an ear, nose and throat specialist, who looked at my throat once and declared my tonsils were long dead. They had my tonsils and adenoids removed and for the first time people didn't constantly ask me to repeat what I was saying.
This is possibly one of the best videos I’ve seen just because he don’t fill your brain up with bs, he literally gets to the point asap, lol definitely earned a sub from me, ✊ respect bruh
You're absolutely right. I hate to start watching a video where the person tells you what he wants to talk about, then gives a history of the world up to that point, tells you he's about to get to the subject, thanks everyone he's ever known in his life, then finally starts telling you only to have TH-cam interrupt with a commercial. This one was great!
omg i saw one of these in my throat and frantic and anxious as i was i ran right to google wtf it was and found your video, thank you for the piece of mind. During this covid struggle I dont want to waste any medical professionals time and this gave me both an education and piece of mind. I appreciate it.
Hey if any of you are having this and freaking out try this: cough deeply and bend over and cough deeply. I do a combination of this and sometimes it may take a few days or more for it to go away. But mine always come out from coughing especially when I’m bending over or my throat is angled downward. when you feel it loose keep coughing and don’t breathe in with your mouth use your nose to breathe in and keep coughing it out till it moves forward and expels out of your mouth. Hope this works as it did for me. 💗💗
I literally just removed one about the size of a couple peas. I wasn't really sure if it was a tonsil stone or what caused it but i just pressed it out with my finger and a lot of gagging. Glad to know it's normal and not dangerous. Thanks!!
Alright, this comment is hopefully to help people that are getting annoyed with their tonsil stones. First off, let me start out by saying I've been dealing with tonsil stones for many years, since I was a child. I know how annoying they can be, having that feeling of something in the back of your throat. And sometimes you just cant get them out. Luckily I have a rather simple, yet effective solution. The thing about this video I don't agree with is that he says removing your tonsils is for severe or extreme cases. Trust me when I say this, get your tonsils removed. It is so worth it. Just make sure you tell your doctor how annoying it is to have, and ask for an ENT to see if you can get those taken out. Once they are out, Im not going to lie, it is going to be a very VERY hard 10 day recovery if you are an adult. The healing process is pretty painful, but please dont let that scare you off. After those 10 days, you will never have to deal with tonsil stones again. I did it, and I'm a wuss when it comes to pain. I know you can do it too. If you need any advice or have any questions regarding tonsil stones please ask.
As for the price of the surgery, I do know that its a very simple procedure. The ENTIRE surgery only lasts between 15-30 minutes, and they put you to sleep so you dont feel a thing. I assume the surgery will be fully covered by your insurance, but dont quote me on that. And yes, there is a simply way to deal with tonsil stones other then surgery. HOWEVER the down side to this method as that your tonsil stones will still come back, and you will have to deal with them for the rest of your life. You can buy water picks to help push out the tonsil stones, as well as using long cotton swabs to massage the area. However, even after they are removed, they will eventually come back. If you want to be completely cured, you must get your tonsils completely removed. Like I said, its a very hard and painful recovery, but luckily they will give you top of the line pain killers. I guess the best way to describe the pain is like having strep throat for 10 days, it isnt fun. But after those 10 days, you will never see another tonsil stone again. :) I hope this helps. And good luck.
Slashedflyer Thank you so much for this comment! I’ve been having trouble finding someone who got their tonsils removed because of annoying stones. I’m getting mine removed in 5 days and was starting to have some doubts about if I had a good enough reason. Your comment helped me feel a little better about it! I’ve read it’s possible for them to go away as you get older, but if they don’t I’d rather get them out as a teen than as an adult.
Thank you very much. I am suffering from tonsils stones since 14 years old and now i am 21 .. I am just tired i dont know if there are any side effects of removing tonsils and i really scare bc many people said the surgery is so painful , but i will do it no matter what
Another channel brought this up about a month ago. Found some where they said they'd be. Concentrated bad breath is what they are. I was surprised how vile I found these little nuggets of stink. Squish one and sniff, the essence of your bad breath is what you'll find. Shocked I was, shocked.
I felt like there was something stuck in my throat for a couple days, and I finally thought to look in a mirror to check. I’ve heard of these before, so I immediately recognized what it was. Struggling to get it out though, and it’s so annoying!
Me tonight!! Felt like something was stuck in my throat for a couple days and just tonight I finally decided to look in the mirror...and sure enough a tonsil stone. 😭
My grandpa used to always have such terrible breath, infact, it drove him crazy to the point he was brushing and flossing and using mouth wash 4-5 times a day and just never knew.. he since has passed a few years ago, and shortly after, about a couple months, I found out that it was tonsil stones.. I found out because I saw it in my mouth when my throat hurt and I was checking for signs of strept.. I miss my grandpa.. I wish I could’ve found that out sooner so he could’ve known and had non death breath for a short time
@@daa2622 yeah for sure! Just can’t believe he went his entire life without ever knowing, but then also it’s so ironic that it was so relatively soon after that I discovered that was the reason haha
When I first saw it i so scared I was like in gonna die I'm gonna die now I saw it wasn't dangerous I claim now but in the back of my throat I can feel it it's so disgusting 🤮
I try to drink water every time I'm done eating something and this helped me a lot to deal with tonsil stones, because the water washes out all of the food that may be stuck in your throat. Also I tried taking probiotics from time to time and eating a lot of apples, carrots and other fruits and vegetables. I hope this info is helpful for somebody who is struggling with that, I know feeling.
I pulled one out with a pointy scissor. It was like a ice berg, I thought it would be a small one, but once I got a hold of it and plucked it, ninety percent of the stone's body came out. Satisfying and I examined it for a bit. Took a photo too.
So I have a question. A lot of articles say go see an ENT and while they do get them out quickly, no one can afford going every time they have a tonsil stone. At least for those of us that get them all the time. So my question is, is why has no one invented a small vacuum like the ENT has for individuals to purchase? I have look everywhere and there isn't one legit tonsil stone remover that has suction and for those of us with bad gag reflexes, the suction makes it so much easier and quicker.
Selena Roper The problem Selena is the tonsil is very vascular. Even Minor poking can result in catastrophic bleeding. It’s also a problem with tonsil surgery. Best thing is a gentle push from a finger or toothbrush but resist using force.
I live in algeria north africa and i went to an ENT to get rid of them he used a thing that looks like a very long nail and attached it to electrical power and put it down my throat to burn the holes that released these stones I only did one side I definitely need to do the other one
I used a flashlight, magnified makeup mirror and long stick qtip. I would press around the stone and they would pop out. I did this almost every night in my early 40’s. I had my tonsils removed ( painful) and have not been bothered since. BTW, I could only find the long qtips at Radio Shack.
You need to have your tonsils removed to stop getting them. That works permanently. A vacuum wouldn’t work as well as removal of the tonsils. Best thing I ever did. No more tonsil stones. So happy. I bet most people with horrible breath have to tonsil stones and don’t even know it.
Would be interesting to learn more about the tonsils. Particularly tonsillitis and similar infections, as well as the benefits/drawbacks of tonsillectomy.
Heres how i pretty much got rid of mine: - Brush your teeth at LEAST twice a day. Floss and make sure u brush your tongue. - Use therabreath mouthwash twice a day. Trust it works. My dentist recommended it i think its the main reason why mine are gone - Remove them with silicone or something completely smoothe. If u use qtips it can damage ur skin and actually causes them to get worse due to bacteria around the wound - drink lots of water. Dry mouth will contribute - gargle with salt water after you eat if possible. If not make sure you drink lots of water especially after meals :) Good luck yall!
@@arghirrellle I m thinking to remove my tonsils because of bad breath(i can t anymore with this sense), but my doctor tells me that maybe the problem continue. Do you still have bad breath?
@@mgeo9780 yes. But I don't regret the surgery, because the stones were absolutely disgusting. One of the doctors told me I should have a surgery for my deviated septum, because I have nose issues, I breathe through my nose at night and I have dry mouth and white coating on the back of my tongue. I should have started with that maybe. But I read some comments saying that their bb went away with the tonsillectomy.
I’m so happy I just got my tonsils removed!! It’s painful and it’s hard, but I’m sure it’ll feel worth it once I’m healed and I won’t have to worry about it anymore
@@gedhollerhead566 my advice would be to pace yourself with the meds, the pain is worse on day 4 and 5!!! Ba patient with your body and expect for it to hurt when you yawn for a while !
@@gedhollerhead566 you’re welcome!!! The worse part is that the muscle in your throat cramps up when you swallow too much but swallowing is exactly what you have to do to get better
I cut out all milk and cheese products from my diet and they went away. When I ate diary products by accident, they returned. Just my experience with these nasty fuckers.
You might be particularly vulnerable to the otherwise benign bacteria in dairy. There must be some kind of medication to help with that. That's my uneducated guess
I'd take medication in a heartbeat, dairy is fucking amazing. It's not bad for you as long as you're not lactose intolerant, that's just one of those stupid diet myths like gluten being bad for you.
Dairy isn't bad for you, just like anything else some people simply can't handle it as well as others. The only thing 'bad' for you about it is the lactose, and the fat if you're the sort to freak out about that stuff. In-fact, its a big part of many diets, including Mediterranean, which is one of the healthiest.
Heres a tip, if its in like a pocket in your tonsil and can't push it out use a floss pick and try to get under or over it and scoop it out, this usually works with me, yes there might be a little bit of blood if you scrap the pocket that stone is in but don't worry it took me about 20 minutes to get it out and it cane out and instant sore throat relief, if that doesn't work break it up into smaller pieces it may take longer but those chunks may come out one by one
Question: Why do I have white fuzz on my tongue? Gives me bad breath and dry mouth, and I'm super hygienic with rinsing with mouthwash to brushing teeth and even brushing my tongue!
Change your diet and try salt water instead of mouthwash. Alcohol mouthwash can kill good bacteria and dry out you mouth makig you prone to plaque buildup and dry mouth.
Gosh, these things made me paranoid that I was ill and needed a tonsillectomy. Nasty little buggers, you can help them get out by using the opposite end of the toothbrush and press the nearby tissues. This can pop them out a bit while you dislodge them with a q-tip or finger. Gargling with salt water afterwards if there is irritation or tiny amount of bleeding. Avoid mucus provoking things like smoking/vaping, cows milk and other dairy products may be a culprit. Try a week or 2 off of cheese and milk, yogurts and such...it might prove the mucus is from that. Also heavy consumption of fried foods can contribute. White coating on the tounge is common in American diet, heavy on fat, dairy ect. Try vegetarian eating for a while also. Lay off butter, cream, milk and cheese and too much burger, fries and pizza. Sounds lame but it works on that tounge coating. Gargling with Listerine might be good too. Chew gum to keep saliva flowing and rinsing the back of the mouth and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. They are stinkers!
My tonsils were chronically scarred. Due to this scarring I often had tonsillitis and tonsil Stones. I then got them cut out, and it helped my whole health a lot.
Iunio92 Before I had my tonsils removed, the worst part was when they came out during school and I had to hold those nasty fuckers in my mouth til I could get to a trash can.
Herb Derb in sweden it's throat almonts XD our languages are similar as fuck. if a word in swedish is not the same as in english it's almost always the same in germany istead XD
As a child I thought it was a piece of my brain coming out through my throat. I didn't find out what they were until 5 years ago. I would as my doctor and other people and no one knew what I was talking about.
I was getting tonsil stones constantly when I was a teenager and then at age 20 I caught mono and got extremely sick. It was the worst flu I've ever had. The virus caused scarring on my tonsils and the shape of them changed or they became less pocketed or something....and now I almost never get tonsil stones. I had one recently but it was the first one in years.
I have one stuck in the back of my throat. No matter how many times I tried to swallow it or cough it up. I can feel come back up. It won't come out. What should I do?

At one point I was at the hospital to check up on my fever and sore throat, and as I was about to meet up with the doctor, I coughed really hard, and I spit out what I thought was a tooth. It was kinda shaped like a molar, so I thought I lost a tooth somehow, or some freak biological process happened that made me grow an extra tooth in the back of my throat. I was told later it was a tonsil stone.
My son has it and I call them stinky diamonds and tell him to mine it and give it to me. He’s 11 and that’s how we play around it. I don’t want him to feel too bad about having tonsil stones but still encourage him to get rid of them
I haven’t had any tonsil stones in months but after eating pizza a few days ago I noticed that feel came back. Plus I would get that odd smell when I took deep breaths. I got to look tonight and found the stones. It brought out garlic smell too. I also felt like I had sore throat for a short time in the mornings after brushing my teeth.
I had enlarged tonsils and used to get frequent sore throats as a kid. In my mid-20s I started getting recurring bouts of strep throat tonsil and forming tonsil stones. My insurance was an HMO & I was going to the doctor a lot but getting inadequate care because America… I thought they were little pockets of infections that got hard because they looked a lot like strep…I see I wasn’t too far off. I would gargle and brush and gargle some more…then I realized I could get them out.(Yucky but better than more strep throat) It helped, but i still had to get my tonsils out at age 27.
I remember as a kid when was in the bathroom I opened my mouth and look in the mirror and saw the first tonsil stone I ever had. I showed my parents and they got concerned especially my mother and told me not to eat any chips for fear I might swallow it. But of course I had chips and the rest is history. Afterwards my mother took me to the doctor and he told us there was nothing to worry about.
I got my tonsils removed and it was the best decision of my life! No more snoring, no more tonsil stones, haven’t had a sore throat or strep throat in years! If tonsil stones and frequent sore throats are an issue for you, have them removed ASAP, your quality of life will dramatically improve
Wait me too!! I distinctly remember coughing one up in middle school and thinking, "Huh. This must be part of my brain." I don't know why I was so quick to accept that as normal.
I wet a q tip and just poke my tonsils a bit! I have a strong gag reflex so I thought it’d be hard but it was easy! I used to have a water pick but threw it out after I got braces removed. If you wanna do it right away at home I suggest a wet q tip!!
I once coughed a tonsil stone out in front of a friend.
We're not friends anymore.
:'c
I don't know why but this made me laugh so hard I cried.
Worst nightmare
My mum was sleeping right next to me and she's serious about sleeping so when I saw this I just laughed and cried mysoul out and yett did I know she smacked me
Than that not a real friend
Lol
SOMETIMES I ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOW THEM AND WHENEVER I DO I CRY BECAUSE ITS SO NASTY AND IT FEELS SO WRONG
I know what you mean! It's just awful when it happens and you just know in that split second , pretty much as it's happening, but it's too late and there is nothing you can do to stop it!!! 😝
It's gross but they get killed in your stomach acid.
I’ve only swallowed them a couple of times 🤢 but I started to take a Q-tip and wet it or take the flat end of one of those blackhead tools and pop them out. I used to gag a lot at first but I’ve gotten used to it and can remove them easily with no pain or discomfort. I’ve noticed I get more when I drink milk.
@@m.k.boswell3719 I do that, too. I mean when I accidentally swallow one while eating or drinking or smth.
my brother would eat it when it comes out
I genuinely thought I was the only person on the planet who got these, seems I’m not alone
Korben Haslam same! My mom acted like I was crazy and said I may need to have this issue looked at because my throat mightve been “made weird”
Korben Haslam not even close I didn’t realize how common it is
I was plagued by tonsil stones but now that I'm wearing braces I no longer have them. I believe it's because my bite is aligning which helps my mouth self clean along with flossing and tongue scraping.
i have tonsils what can i do now
Do you have large tonsils. I always thought I got them because my tonsils are abnormally large.
Some tips to prevent tonsil stones that work for me.
1. Besides the obvious brushing teeth in the morning/night. When brushing tongue, brush it as good as you can, gag a lot if you have to, it will loosen the stones.
2. Buy a tongue scraper (the metal ones are the best)
2. Get a curved syringe (like the ones they give you after you get wisdom teeth removed) squirt water directly at your tonsils after you eat to prevent them building up.
3. I know ppl suggest a water pik but unless it’s at a very low setting, it can actually cause your tonsils to bleed. The syringe is better.
4. Saltwater rinse. I find listerine didn’t help at all. The salt water gets rid of bacteria and also soothes throat.
5. Drink water! I know this is obvious but when you’re eating, drink water to make sure you’re flushing all your food down and reduce chances of food sitting on your tongue.
I haven’t got any in almost 3 weeks since I started doing this. And I stick my tongue out to smell my breath (idk if that makes sense) and I don’t smell that tonsil stone smell so I know I don’t have any.

@Ally Carraway I can't smell them on my tongue because I use a tongue scraper religously. When I don't use a mask I can't smell the ones in my throat. But boy when I wear a mask not only does my head hurt, I feel like I'm going to pass out.
Hello, I'm wondering can your partner smell/taste your breath even if you remove your tonsil stones.
@@yasminemerouani7481 do you mean can do you have tonsil stone breath even after you remove tonsil stones ? The answer would be Yes.

WHY IS THIS COMMENT SO FUNNY
I don't get the hate tbh. It's like people misunderstand the website. In general googling my problems has worked well
Who gets so excited when you get them out
Can you feel the tonsil stones when they're in your mouth/ tonsils???
Michelle Reed i can feel them most of the time
Michelle Reed I feel like there’s a little piece of granola stuck in my throat and as it gets bigger I will get a cough like I’m sick and it comes out as I cough more. Ik I’m not sick with a cold or anything I just know it’s my body’s way of getting it out by itself the more I cough it will just get loose.
Michelle Reed yes and it’s ANNOYING! and when your swallowing you can feel them

There are many components to the subject. One plan I discovered which successfully combines these is the Stone Treater Genie (check it out on google) without a doubt the most helpful resource i've seen. Check out the extraordinary info.
I have invented a good way to get them out. Take an empty tube from a sample sized toothpaste, punch a tiny hole in the cap. Fill it with water and squish the tube while aiming at tonsil stones, the stream of water will get them out... I was struggling for so many years getting them out with picks until I got this idea. Now they are not much of an issue anymore
Sir you’re my hero!
sir you are a genius.
Einstein been real quiet since Sergey came around
Also those high pressure mouth cleaner water spraying things work too.
i didnt understand plz explain
Thank you for not saying they are caused by bad oral hygiene ❤
nunya they aren’t actually. You can have great oral hygiene and still get them.
I think mine are tho
It’s Jolly You sure? I use to get them but I stopped getting them just because I switched my diet. I still eat sugar, but it stopped coming.
@@aaAa-bp1yd may I ask what diet are you on now please? Maybe I can try it. Tnx.
Stephen Seychell I ate oatmeal and a banana in the morning, bagel and a green smoothie (pineapple, spinach, kale and mango) and rice with chicken and salad, and yogurt with berries and grains. First though, you need to get it out, and to make it stop coming I guess you just eat that for a while. After two months of eating that, i ate the same stuff I would normally eat. It stopped coming for me. ❤️ Although I'm not an expert in that kind of stuff, I really hope your tonsils come out and they stop coming. You need to get it removed by gargling salt water or putting your finger inside of it and popping it out

Then you’ve obviously never smelt a decaying body before.
As someone who constantly has tonsil stones, when they get too uncomfortable I go to the ent doctor for them to take them out. They told me that a reason some people are more prone to having these is because of the way your tonsil is made, some people have way more "holes" in their tonsils so it's easier for food to get stuck there, but it also means that you're less likely to be sick all the time cause they also grab a lot of germes. All in all, super uncomfortable, you look crazy making faces trying to get them out and when they get out it's worth a mini celebration, but it never caused me actual health problems
It would seem as though I may have some smooth as heck tonsils then.
I've been alive for 27 years now and NOTHING has beaten the smell of tonsils stones for me in terms of pure horrifying grossness.

I’m so embarrassed just to go out and I hate going to work because of this bad smell.
I got my tonsils out because of them and still have bad breath. I also have white coating in the back of my tongue and dry mouth. Tried everything, went to so many doctors. It ruined my life!
@@arghirrellle it sounds like your sinuses are causing it. Specifically, the flora in them and/or postnasal drip
Bad breath is a bad reason to get your tonsils removed they are good immune tissue. My doctor advised me not to removed my tonsils even though they were causing me acute sleep apnea.

Another way to help remove the stones is to use a glass (carefully) or hard acrylic medicine dropper (soft tube doesn't work). Gently squeeze the bulb, place the tip of the dropper on the stone, and release the bulb. The suction should grab hold of the stone and pull it out or suck it into the tube itself. Repeat if necessary.
Are you feeling ok?

Nice Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Parlandealey Mouth Cure Process (do a google search)? It is a good one off product for learning how to cure tonsil stones without the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my old buddy Taylor got great results with it.

I was able to remove mine with the tail of a teaspoon. At first, It was very hard to overcome the gag reflex, but no matter how sensitive you are, if you do it little by little, you do get used to it. In order to make it easier, I used ice, both in my mouth and on the teaspoon aswell so it made it a lot easier to work. I simply scraped the soft and stinky stones off the tonsils, gargled non-alcooholic mouthwash and I completely got rid of the discomfort I used to feel before.
I have one stuck right now My breath is so nasty

Carlos Mojarro I would recommend brushing your teeth everyday after lunch, dinner, breakfast, you should also eat gum for 24 hours so no one would smell it.
Thank god I aint the only who has this stinky stuff stuck in my mouth.
I feel like it always forms after I eat some dairy product, like cheese for instance.
It's really a shame that there isnt enough research done on this issue
NightFury
Well, that would be because it actually is rotting food. So yes, if you don't clean your mouth, you really will have breath that smells like a corpse
No my breath doesnt stink in general, I brush my teeth and clean my tongue twice a day. But when those white things randomly just push up from my throat to the mouth, it stinks like hell
Dairy can cause tonsil stones, so i have heard bc it increases mucus production

A vegan diet will clear that right up
I had this problem everyday of my life from the time I was a kid. I recently changed my diet to a lower carb and sugar diet and started eating more fresh veggies and fruit. And guess what happened? The stones went away. Seriously. First time ever in my life and they are gone. Totally convinced it comes from an unhealthy diet.
Same thing here. Went low carb and the stones disappeared. Low carb reduces inflammation. I think that's why they disappear.
What do you typically eat in a day?
I went from a severely unhealthy diet full of sugar to diet of vegetables, lean meat, low carb and under 25g of sugar. Still get tonsil stones. Been getting them regularly since I was a kid.

I used to think there was nothing I could do about tonsil stones other than "popping them out". I could smell my breath was putrid and it gave me social anxiety talking to other people. There is a solution people - get a curved tip syringe and squirt water with it at your tonsils. It washes them out. I've been doing this for a couple of years now daily and although it's a pain, I don't need to worry about bad breath anymore. Life changing.
Some people need surgery to get them removed, just because you can't see them doesn't mean they are not their. I thought mine were gone then when I would wear my mask I smelled like tonsil breath and I poked my throat and surprise... I found 3. I'm trying to leave sugar, carbohydrates and lactose but it's extremely hard might just have to get the surgery.
I ended up having to get my tonsils removed due to my tonsil stones at the age of 22. Always had problems with my tonsils and ulcers, but once I reached my twenties, the stones became recurring. Went to an ENT and explained my situation of having a few tonsil stones about once a week. He looked in my throat for 5 seconds and was like “yeah those need to come out”. Get them removed 2 weeks later and he told me one pocket was just filled to the brim with them and causing irritation and swelling. Since then I haven’t had any problems with my throat in regards to soreness.
... so it's not normal to have like 5 every 2 days? My doctor said I shouldn't bother when I asked for removal of tonsils because it was getting annoying and I had to spend a lot of time every week getting them out, but now that you said it maybe I should ask different doctor...

Do you eat lots of processed yeasty white foods such as flours, breads, crackers? when broken down its broken into sugars too much will overfeed the natural yeast in your gut throwing all of it out of balance and thats when you start getting tonsil stones, slight or severe white coating on tongue, ringworm and so much more caused by the beautiful but despicable white fungi
i only get them when i eat junk food
this made me realize i’ve definitely coughed up these before 😂 just recently i’ve become conscious of the white spots on my tonsils when they’ve been there
now I don’t wanna eat anymore cause I’m scared I’m gonna get food stuck in the crypts 😂😭

For most of my childhood people had a hard time understanding me because my tonsils were super large and muffled my voice. My general practitioner at the time said that they were fine.
A few years later they left and I went to a new GP, and upon discussion of my voice they sent me to an ear, nose and throat specialist, who looked at my throat once and declared my tonsils were long dead.
They had my tonsils and adenoids removed and for the first time people didn't constantly ask me to repeat what I was saying.

If you have tonsil stones, try gurgling salt water. Works like a charm for me when I get the occasional one.
The Will of G unless you have one large one that is completely impacted. My entire tonsil feels like bone.
Marsha W Go to the doctor.
The Will of G doesnt work for me ;-;
Marsha W that sounds like an ent needs to remove the entire tonsil my dude
Nothing was working. I removed my tonsils and that was the best idea and the only way not to have the tonsile stones ever.
Hey if any of you are having this and freaking out try this: cough deeply and bend over and cough deeply. I do a combination of this and sometimes it may take a few days or more for it to go away. But mine always come out from coughing especially when I’m bending over or my throat is angled downward. when you feel it loose keep coughing and don’t breathe in with your mouth use your nose to breathe in and keep coughing it out till it moves forward and expels out of your mouth. Hope this works as it did for me. 💗💗
I literally just removed one about the size of a couple peas. I wasn't really sure if it was a tonsil stone or what caused it but i just pressed it out with my finger and a lot of gagging. Glad to know it's normal and not dangerous. Thanks!!
Alright, this comment is hopefully to help people that are getting annoyed with their tonsil stones. First off, let me start out by saying I've been dealing with tonsil stones for many years, since I was a child. I know how annoying they can be, having that feeling of something in the back of your throat. And sometimes you just cant get them out. Luckily I have a rather simple, yet effective solution. The thing about this video I don't agree with is that he says removing your tonsils is for severe or extreme cases. Trust me when I say this, get your tonsils removed. It is so worth it. Just make sure you tell your doctor how annoying it is to have, and ask for an ENT to see if you can get those taken out. Once they are out, Im not going to lie, it is going to be a very VERY hard 10 day recovery if you are an adult. The healing process is pretty painful, but please dont let that scare you off. After those 10 days, you will never have to deal with tonsil stones again. I did it, and I'm a wuss when it comes to pain. I know you can do it too. If you need any advice or have any questions regarding tonsil stones please ask.
Slashedflyer is it expensive and isn't there any simple way...
As for the price of the surgery, I do know that its a very simple procedure. The ENTIRE surgery only lasts between 15-30 minutes, and they put you to sleep so you dont feel a thing. I assume the surgery will be fully covered by your insurance, but dont quote me on that. And yes, there is a simply way to deal with tonsil stones other then surgery. HOWEVER the down side to this method as that your tonsil stones will still come back, and you will have to deal with them for the rest of your life. You can buy water picks to help push out the tonsil stones, as well as using long cotton swabs to massage the area. However, even after they are removed, they will eventually come back. If you want to be completely cured, you must get your tonsils completely removed. Like I said, its a very hard and painful recovery, but luckily they will give you top of the line pain killers. I guess the best way to describe the pain is like having strep throat for 10 days, it isnt fun. But after those 10 days, you will never see another tonsil stone again. :) I hope this helps. And good luck.
Slashedflyer thank you so much for the information ; have a gud day....
Slashedflyer Thank you so much for this comment! I’ve been having trouble finding someone who got their tonsils removed because of annoying stones. I’m getting mine removed in 5 days and was starting to have some doubts about if I had a good enough reason. Your comment helped me feel a little better about it! I’ve read it’s possible for them to go away as you get older, but if they don’t I’d rather get them out as a teen than as an adult.
Thank you very much. I am suffering from tonsils stones since 14 years old and now i am 21 .. I am just tired i dont know if there are any side effects of removing tonsils and i really scare bc many people said the surgery is so painful , but i will do it no matter what
Another channel brought this up about a month ago. Found some where they said they'd be. Concentrated bad breath is what they are. I was surprised how vile I found these little nuggets of stink. Squish one and sniff, the essence of your bad breath is what you'll find. Shocked I was, shocked.

I try to drink water every time I'm done eating something and this helped me a lot to deal with tonsil stones, because the water washes out all of the food that may be stuck in your throat. Also I tried taking probiotics from time to time and eating a lot of apples, carrots and other fruits and vegetables. I hope this info is helpful for somebody who is struggling with that, I know feeling.
Now ur tonsil stones permanently removed??
I pulled one out with a pointy scissor. It was like a ice berg, I thought it would be a small one, but once I got a hold of it and plucked it, ninety percent of the stone's body came out. Satisfying and I examined it for a bit. Took a photo too.
But dont you gag
How do you do that without gaggingg
So I have a question. A lot of articles say go see an ENT and while they do get them out quickly, no one can afford going every time they have a tonsil stone. At least for those of us that get them all the time. So my question is, is why has no one invented a small vacuum like the ENT has for individuals to purchase? I have look everywhere and there isn't one legit tonsil stone remover that has suction and for those of us with bad gag reflexes, the suction makes it so much easier and quicker.
Selena Roper The problem Selena is the tonsil is very vascular. Even Minor poking can result in catastrophic bleeding. It’s also a problem with tonsil surgery. Best thing is a gentle push from a finger or toothbrush but resist using force.
I live in algeria north africa and i went to an ENT to get rid of them he used a thing that looks like a very long nail and attached it to electrical power and put it down my throat to burn the holes that released these stones I only did one side I definitely need to do the other one
Bc u can accidentally suck up the dangly thin in the back of your throat. Trust me I did it before
I used a flashlight, magnified makeup mirror and long stick qtip. I would press around the stone and they would pop out. I did this almost every night in my early 40’s. I had my tonsils removed ( painful) and have not been bothered since. BTW, I could only find the long qtips at Radio Shack.
You need to have your tonsils removed to stop getting them. That works permanently. A vacuum wouldn’t work as well as removal of the tonsils. Best thing I ever did. No more tonsil stones. So happy. I bet most people with horrible breath have to tonsil stones and don’t even know it.
So that's what they're called. For a long time I just thought it was a bit of food that just refused to go down (well, I guess it is, kind of).
James A Clouder I thought the same thing
James A Clouder did they go away by themselve ?
Sameee
They can be caused by bacteria, too, which is why they smell like sulfur.
hahah you are my long lost twin brother :D
Would be interesting to learn more about the tonsils. Particularly tonsillitis and similar infections, as well as the benefits/drawbacks of tonsillectomy.
Heres how i pretty much got rid of mine:
- Brush your teeth at LEAST twice a day. Floss and make sure u brush your tongue.
- Use therabreath mouthwash twice a day. Trust it works. My dentist recommended it i think its the main reason why mine are gone
- Remove them with silicone or something completely smoothe. If u use qtips it can damage ur skin and actually causes them to get worse due to bacteria around the wound
- drink lots of water. Dry mouth will contribute
- gargle with salt water after you eat if possible. If not make sure you drink lots of water especially after meals :)
Good luck yall!

I should have started with that maybe. But I read some comments saying that their bb went away with the tonsillectomy.
@@arghirrellle Thanks a lot for the answer :)
@@mgeo9780 you're welcome and good luck to you!
I’m so happy I just got my tonsils removed!! It’s painful and it’s hard, but I’m sure it’ll feel worth it once I’m healed and I won’t have to worry about it anymore
Hi Nichole , I am getting my tonsils out soon, any advice ? Was it painful? Thank you
@@gedhollerhead566 my advice would be to pace yourself with the meds, the pain is worse on day 4 and 5!!! Ba patient with your body and expect for it to hurt when you yawn for a while !
@@NicholeWilliamsAmorvicitomnia thank you
@@gedhollerhead566 you’re welcome!!! The worse part is that the muscle in your throat cramps up when you swallow too much but swallowing is exactly what you have to do to get better
Hi nichole, Do the tonsil stones still appear in your mouth now after your surgery?
I cut out all milk and cheese products from my diet and they went away. When I ate diary products by accident, they returned. Just my experience with these nasty fuckers.
You might be particularly vulnerable to the otherwise benign bacteria in dairy. There must be some kind of medication to help with that.
That's my uneducated guess
Why take medication just so you can continue consuming dairy without getting tonsil stones, which is still bad for you anyway?
I'd take medication in a heartbeat, dairy is fucking amazing. It's not bad for you as long as you're not lactose intolerant, that's just one of those stupid diet myths like gluten being bad for you.
i think he means medicine is probably worse than tonsil stones
Dairy isn't bad for you, just like anything else some people simply can't handle it as well as others. The only thing 'bad' for you about it is the lactose, and the fat if you're the sort to freak out about that stuff.
In-fact, its a big part of many diets, including Mediterranean, which is one of the healthiest.
When I get tonsil stones I spit it out the way a cat gets a hairball out their throat
Hahahaha 😂😂
Same
Your not alone
I remember getting these as a kid and i still do, but i legit thought it was something that only happens to me lol
Heres a tip, if its in like a pocket in your tonsil and can't push it out use a floss pick and try to get under or over it and scoop it out, this usually works with me, yes there might be a little bit of blood if you scrap the pocket that stone is in but don't worry it took me about 20 minutes to get it out and it cane out and instant sore throat relief, if that doesn't work break it up into smaller pieces it may take longer but those chunks may come out one by one
Question: Why do I have white fuzz on my tongue? Gives me bad breath and dry mouth, and I'm super hygienic with rinsing with mouthwash to brushing teeth and even brushing my tongue!
Hard-Hitting Bass that's phlegm to get rid of it simply cough really hard and spit it all out it shouldnt come back until another 12 hours time
Change your diet and try salt water instead of mouthwash. Alcohol mouthwash can kill good bacteria and dry out you mouth makig you prone to plaque buildup and dry mouth.
It might be a yeast infection (though hard for me to say without having seen it). Go see your doctor in case it is.
look up "Thrush" on google and see if its that.
Hard-Hitting Bass .... drink lots of water. eating apples helps too
Gosh, these things made me paranoid that I was ill and needed a tonsillectomy. Nasty little buggers, you can help them get out by using the opposite end of the toothbrush and press the nearby tissues. This can pop them out a bit while you dislodge them with a q-tip or finger. Gargling with salt water afterwards if there is irritation or tiny amount of bleeding. Avoid mucus provoking things like smoking/vaping, cows milk and other dairy products may be a culprit. Try a week or 2 off of cheese and milk, yogurts and such...it might prove the mucus is from that. Also heavy consumption of fried foods can contribute. White coating on the tounge is common in American diet, heavy on fat, dairy ect. Try vegetarian eating for a while also. Lay off butter, cream, milk and cheese and too much burger, fries and pizza. Sounds lame but it works on that tounge coating.
Gargling with Listerine might be good too. Chew gum to keep saliva flowing and rinsing the back of the mouth and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. They are stinkers!
Lol I randomly coughed these up when I was young and always called them “stinky things”, squished them and made my mom smell them 😂😭🤣
msalohakitty 🤢
Same.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're going to hell for this.
msalohakitty that’s just not okay 😭
Just found one tonight when I felt like something was stuck in my throat..... I want it out but I'm also scared to touch it 😭
My tonsils were chronically scarred. Due to this scarring I often had tonsillitis and tonsil Stones. I then got them cut out, and it helped my whole health a lot.
I've learned to squeeze em out, but they're still a fucking pain in the ass
Iunio92 you shit them out?
Iunio92 I once took one out with a pair of tweezers.
Iunio92 More like pain in the NECK.
If they are a pain in your ass, you are squeezing WAY too hard.
Iunio92
Before I had my tonsils removed, the worst part was when they came out during school and I had to hold those nasty fuckers in my mouth til I could get to a trash can.
Why am I watching this? I don't even have tonsils.
Kimbo Slice
fun fact: in German tonsils are called Mandeln which translates to almonds.
Herb Derb So when you say tonsils in German you're saying you have nuts stuck in your throat.
Jazz Webstar Deez Nuts
Did he ask you?
Herb Derb in sweden it's throat almonts XD our languages are similar as fuck. if a word in swedish is not the same as in english it's almost always the same in germany istead XD
I have NEVER heard of these things until my daughter spit one out
Man I was horrified
I thought something died in her mouth 😱
Do you think you could do a video on cerebral aneurysms? I had one rupture at 19 and I think it would be great for people to know about them!
How are you alive? What were the symptoms? Did you get emergency surgery? Wtf...
I’ve been calling them poo stones bc of how bad they smelled
They smell worse than poo💀
As a child I thought it was a piece of my brain coming out through my throat. I didn't find out what they were until 5 years ago. I would as my doctor and other people and no one knew what I was talking about.
This is the most honest report. I can’t stop them from forming even when using probiotics.
I need to get them out.
I was getting tonsil stones constantly when I was a teenager and then at age 20 I caught mono and got extremely sick. It was the worst flu I've ever had. The virus caused scarring on my tonsils and the shape of them changed or they became less pocketed or something....and now I almost never get tonsil stones. I had one recently but it was the first one in years.
Opposite happened to me! I never ever had them and then had mono and now have them all the time.
I got these when I was little but I didn't really know what they were...luckily my dad is an ear/nose/throat surgeon
I have one stuck in the back of my throat. No matter how many times I tried to swallow it or cough it up. I can feel come back up. It won't come out. What should I do?

My wife just experienced this for the first time and it tripped us both out. Thanks for this video!
At one point I was at the hospital to check up on my fever and sore throat, and as I was about to meet up with the doctor, I coughed really hard, and I spit out what I thought was a tooth. It was kinda shaped like a molar, so I thought I lost a tooth somehow, or some freak biological process happened that made me grow an extra tooth in the back of my throat. I was told later it was a tonsil stone.
Warruuna did you smell it ?
NoisyPl@net 😁
That sounds like the beginnings of a bad dream.
No way !
I think it's impossible
My son has it and I call them stinky diamonds and tell him to mine it and give it to me.
He’s 11 and that’s how we play around it. I don’t want him to feel too bad about having tonsil stones but still encourage him to get rid of them
Perfect way to handle it! You seem like a great parent :)
I haven’t had any tonsil stones in months but after eating pizza a few days ago I noticed that feel came back. Plus I would get that odd smell when I took deep breaths. I got to look tonight and found the stones. It brought out garlic smell too. I also felt like I had sore throat for a short time in the mornings after brushing my teeth.
I had enlarged tonsils and used to get frequent sore throats as a kid. In my mid-20s I started getting recurring bouts of strep throat tonsil and forming tonsil stones. My insurance was an HMO & I was going to the doctor a lot but getting inadequate care because America…
I thought they were little pockets of infections that got hard because they looked a lot like strep…I see I wasn’t too far off. I would gargle and brush and gargle some more…then I realized I could get them out.(Yucky but better than more strep throat) It helped, but i still had to get my tonsils out at age 27.
A few centimeters long sounds pretty intense. I'm glad I don't get those!
Cars Simplified don't be glad about something you don't want
What about a couple feet?
@@MegaToonzNetwork Why stop there? Metres.
@@headofathousandsheepswool Light years. >:)
I just discovered my first ones last night, thought i never had them.
bro i just found out i got some today..😔
I remember as a kid when was in the bathroom I opened my mouth and look in the mirror and saw the first tonsil stone I ever had. I showed my parents and they got concerned especially my mother and told me not to eat any chips for fear I might swallow it. But of course I had chips and the rest is history.
Afterwards my mother took me to the doctor and he told us there was nothing to worry about.
I got my tonsils removed and it was the best decision of my life! No more snoring, no more tonsil stones, haven’t had a sore throat or strep throat in years! If tonsil stones and frequent sore throats are an issue for you, have them removed ASAP, your quality of life will dramatically improve
I heard things about getting tonsils removed from someone. Does tonsillectomy really increase the weight?
Got my tonsils out in March, definitely don’t miss those stones
So you don't have them now
When i first got one out while sneezing i thought it was a piece of brain and i was going to die😂
😭😭
Wait me too!! I distinctly remember coughing one up in middle school and thinking, "Huh. This must be part of my brain." I don't know why I was so quick to accept that as normal.
Same lol 🤣
I've wondered all my life what those were 😭😭 I have been fulfilled 😭😭🙌
I’m buying a syringe so I can flush my tonsils out soon. Hopefully it’ll help the bad breath and stone formation.
I wet a q tip and just poke my tonsils a bit! I have a strong gag reflex so I thought it’d be hard but it was easy! I used to have a water pick but threw it out after I got braces removed. If you wanna do it right away at home I suggest a wet q tip!!
