wich one is the best way to get rid of Tonsillolith?
is food that stocks inside the holes of tonsilles and cause bad breath (alithosis)
Tonsillolith or Tonsil Stone
Small white or tan foul smelling balls found in tonsils. These form in many pockets of which are called crypts located in the tonsil on ether side of the tonsils. The most probably make up are bacteria and white blood cells, the inner lining of the tonsils. The patient typically notices something like a stuck piece of food or something hard within the back of their mouth. If that is the case then the stone is probably protruding from a crypt. Typically these will self extract and will be digested by the patient. To ease the irritation you can take a flashlight and a cotton tipped stick and "pop" out the tonsillolith by forcing from the side like popping a pimple. Some may be behind areas not easily accessable depending how your parents designed your tonsil. You can design a paperclip bend banded to a pen so it can enter the crypts or around corners. Over time, you will be able to control the gag reflex. Please be gentle and if there is bleeding, stop immediatly and try another time.
Another option is to have a tonsillectomy which is a complete removal of the tonsils. This will solve the problem completely. I would only considered this if it were a very serious issue, damaging your well being. Otherwise, it can just be a daily routine like brushing your teeth.
In order to get rid of or at least decrease the production of the Tonsilloliths
it is important to do a NASAL WASH with saltwater each time before you brush your teeth ( and tongue !).
To make the saltwater solution, mix one-half teaspoon unionized salt in an 8-ounce glass of warm water. Unionized salt is used because iodized salt may be irritating when used over a long period of time.
Sniff the liquid up your nose, one nostril at a time and allow the fluid to run out of your mouth
Then brush your teeth and tongue with toothpaste as usual.
After a few days the Tonsilloliths will start to come loose and a few days later their production will become less and less.
Many doctors tell their patients to gargle with salt water in order to get rid of the Tonsilloliths. But gargling is simply not enough. You have to do the Nasal Wash with the saltwater aswell. At least once or twice a day.
