About my blog
My
name is Lesli Paterson, and welcome to my blog. I created this blog to
help other people like me who are suffering with tonsil stones.
I tried many different products and guides, but the guide recommended here is the only thing that has worked for me
It does not appear that they are life-threatening …
The appropriate treatment for a tonsil stone depends upon the size of the tonsillolith and its potential to cause discomfort or medical harm. Various options include:
* No treatment. Many tonsil stones, especially ones that are asymptomatic, require no special treatment.
* At-home removal. Some people choose to dislodge tonsil stones at home with the use of picks or swabs.
* Salt water gargles. Gargling with warm, salty water may help alleviate the discomfort of tonsillitis, which often accompanies tonsil stones.
* Antibiotics. Various antibiotics can be used to treat tonsil stones. While they may be helpful for some people, they cannot correct the basic problem that is causing tonsilloliths. Also, antibiotics can have side effects.
* Surgical removal. When tonsil stones are exceedingly large and symptomatic, it may be necessary for a surgeon to remove them. In certain instances, a doctor will be able to perform this relatively simple procedure using a local numbing agent. Then the person with the tonsil stone will not need general anesthesia.
Hope this helps …
its not dangerous. tonsil stones are quite small. (usually half the size of a tic tac).
most people don’t even realize it but if it pops out in your sleep you’ll just swallow it. (won’t choke on it).
i’ve had many many tonsils stones in the past and i’ve never had any problems with them choking me.
WHAT ARE TONSILS? Tonsils are masses of lymph tissue on either side of the throat (in the oropharynx region).http://www.boddunan.com/component/content/article/20-medicine-a-surgery/3568-tonsils-and-its-disorders.html?directory=3
