Has anyone had any success in preventing "tonsil stones" (tonsilloliths)?


I’ve been getting these stupid things for about 5 years, but they’ve been occurring more often in the past 6 months. I’ve attributed it to sinuses and the allergy season causing more post-nasal drip than usual (sorry, gross I know) … Anyway, I’m 23 and do not want to get my tonsils removed. I’ve tried gargling with listerine, warm salt water, lemon & cayenne tea, you name it, I still get them. Then I have to dislodge them with a Q-tip and that’s a whole other story as anyone with this annoying condition knows. I removed almost 20 of them (big and small) from just one tonsil this morning! So, basically I’m wondering if anyone has had any success in preventing the stones before they even happen. Please do not tell me to get my tonsils taken out! :-P I’m too old and the risks are too high.

I’ve never had any success so far. I didn’t even know what they were until a few days ago myself and I’ve evidently had them for a while. I would suggest asking your general practitioner how to go about removing them properly.
