No, seriously; is there?
I've been suffering from tonsil stones (tonsilloliths) for about 5 to 6 months now and I have to cough up and poke my tonsils every two weeks to get the gunk out of my tonsils. Fortunately I don't suffer from bad breath unlike most victims, I just have irritation from it and nearly gag every time I poke them out. I've been doing some research on it and it seems that the only solution to curing this is to get my tonsils completely removed surgically; which I don't plan to do because it could ruin my singing abilities, not to mention the extreme pain. My tonsils have been very large from birth and I was wondering if there is any cure to this. All I have found were internet products that didn't look so trustworthy. Does this eventually go away? Does it get worse?
Thanks to anyone who has any idea.
