Pulling out a tonsilith


These foul smelling little tonsiliths form in my left tonsil now and again. This was a particularly big one and came out nicely in one lump :)

    im pretty sure there is no way to fix tonsils besides getting them removed, got mine removed and no regrets yet.

    I had mine taken out because i kept getting infections every 2 weeks or so, doc said that usualy they wont take them out of older people, But becasue they were going in to remove my adenoids and reduce my turbinates (Breathing problems related to both of those) he mine as well get rid of my “ugly” looking tonsils too, So now they are out, Going on day 4, im really sore now, but its the swelling and thenderness thats the problem, Makes it hard to eat any thing, Even harder to drink :D

    Why did you take them out? Did you have bad breath? Recurrent tonsillitis? Wish you a good recovery.

    Im shocked that the human body has such a stupid flaw. I have been suffering for many many months now and i feel absolutly terrible. Every single day my throat kills and i am incredibly weak. Is having my tonsil removed realy the only solution?!

    Short version:

    Tonsil stones are NOT thrush, candida, yeast!!!!

    They ARE calcified clumps of leukocytes!!! AKA HARDENED PUS!!!!

    Tonsiloliths …
    Beth:

    Tonsiloliths are not usually yeast or candida, they are leukocytes (white blood cells) that gather around a small bit of food or bacteria that is stuck in a pocket in the tonsils. The tonsils themselves are one of the glands in the body that produce leukocytes. They uses these cells as an army against the bacteria that get stuck in them.

    The easy way to put it:

    Tonsil Stones (aka tonsiloliths) are a form of calcified (hardened) PUS!!!!

    Candida, aka “yeast …
    Candida, aka “yeast” also the cause of yeast infections. Everyone has it in their body, along with bacteria that keep it regulated, but sometimes the bacteria count is lowered (from using antibiotics sometimes, steroids also) and the yeast count rises, causing these types of fungal infections. Little tidbit of info for ya.

    Candida albicans, …
    Candida albicans, also known as Thrush, is a naturally occurring part of the flora of bacteria/fungi in your body.

    You dont want to get rid of it because it keeps other bacteria/fungi in check.

    I don’t think that’s the same thing as a tonsil stone.

    I heard that the …
    I heard that the cause of tonsil stones is a fungi that reproduces in your throat. It is called Candida. 40 million people in North America have it and many of them don’t even know it. Ask your doctor to test if you have candida. And if he says that you’re hyperoactive, then don’t listen to him. Make do a candida test!!! I am on a candida diet which is the worst diet in history but now I see that even my tongue is getting clearer.

    I do to, but you have to just do it right. I do it with my finger actually and I just push up against the side and they usually come out. Once I was able to actually emulate pimple-popping to get a large one out.

    You feel them. I …
    You feel them. I know, I get them. Ever get a piece of beef or something stuck under the very side of your tongue underneath? It feels like something is stuck in a flap in the back of your mouth. Depending on how many or how big, it can be increasingly incomfortable. I had 3-4 fairly large sized ones in ONE tonsil one time and you could see it clearly if I had my mouth open.
