Common symptoms of tonsil stones include persistent bad breath, a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and ear pain. Some people might not experience any symptoms at all, which can make the condition harder to detect. If the stones become large, they can cause visible swelling in the throat and may even be mistaken for other conditions like throat infections or tonsillitis.
Tonsil Stones
To prevent tonsil stones from forming, maintaining good oral hygiene is key. Regular brushing, flossing, and gargling with salt water can help reduce the buildup of debris in the mouth. Staying hydrated and limiting dairy intake may also help prevent the formation of tonsil stones, as these actions can reduce mucus production and the likelihood of calcification.
Several natural remedies may help with removing tonsil stones. Gargling with salt water or using a gentle oral irrigator can dislodge small stones. Some people find that eating crunchy foods like apples and carrots helps to loosen them naturally.
