It seems they come up and down on occasion and it seems somewhat random how bad they are. They feel like they’re stuck in the back of my throat or every time I swallow I can feel them back there. I’m not sure what to do about it. I found a couple different websites that talk about them but the only one that isn’t trying to sell me anything is http://www.tonsil-help.com . I don’t want to be sold some information, I just want to know how to stop these things! Someone help me get rid of tonsil stones!

i usually get them in my left tonsil. Everytime i get it out they will come back less than a week later. It is very irratating. What do I do? Should I get them removed? There is a large spot where the stones are. WHen i get them out it leaves a divot in my tonsil. Is that bad?

Is constantly having tonsil stones come up a good reason for having a tonsillectomy?

I have been having tonsil stones come up about once a week for the past two years and they are becoming a problem. I am 13 years old and I was just wondering if maybe a tonsillectomy is right for me.

Can a constantly inflamed tonsil be due to cat allergies, and how do you treat it?

Back in June I had an absessed tonsil on my right side. A month after it was drained, it was fine, until I stayed overnight in a house with cats. After a few nights I started to develop a scratchy throat, and then it just became sore. It’s clear that my right tonsil (the same one as before – coincidence?) is inflamed and red and swollen. The left side is FINE.

Since then I’ve been in a serious relationship with a cat owner, and it seems the sore throat/enlarged tonsil is never going away.

Over the course of the past couple months I’ve seen an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist. He’s given me both antibiotics and steroids, which have helped while I was taking them, but the tonsil never fully shrank and as soon as the pills ran out I found myself with a sore throat and inflamed red tonsil on my right side again.

I also have seen an allergist. He says that if it was infected, it would get worse instead of always smoldering at the same level of pain. Allergy sprays like Omnaris and medications like Zyrtec seem to help my throat/tonsil… at least for a while… but there’s nothing strong enough to really make me feel normal or get rid of it. He’s put me on an allergy shot regimen for cats… but I don’t know if he’s right about this.

1) Is it true that my tonsil can’t be infected, because it would get worse instead of staying at the same level for months?

2) All my drainage is clear – no coloration at all. Does that indicate anything?

3) Is it even POSSIBLE to have a constantly inflamed tonsil due to cat allergies?

4) Any recommendations on how to treat it?

If you can answer ANY of these questions, thank you.
