First ever tonsil stone.?
I got my first ever tonsil stone yesterday. I had a fever, head ache, and problem swallowing so I saw my doctor who put me on Amoxicillin.
After reading lots of articles, I pushed the stone out myself.
Just because I got it once, does that mean I’m going to keep getting them?
Yes, you’ll probably keep getting them. In fact, you have probably had several already and you just haven’t noticed them. They happen just because of the "texture" of your tonsils. That is, your tonsils have little cavities in them where food becomes trapped and turns into tonsil stones. If your doctor put you on Amoxicillin, it wasn’t for the tonsil stones, it was because of a bacterial infection.
