Why Do I Have Tonsil Stones, and How Can I Get Rid of Them? - #15162
For the past few months, I’ve noticed a weird bad taste in my mouth and a constant feeling like something is stuck in my throat. When I checked, I found small white or yellowish lumps in my tonsils. I did some research, and it turns out they’re called tonsil stones. I’ve tried to remove them with my tongue or by gargling, but they keep coming back. I don’t understand why I keep getting tonsil stones—is it something I’m eating, or could it be poor oral hygiene? I read that tonsil stones form from trapped food, bacteria, and mucus in the tonsils. Does that mean I need to change my diet? I eat a lot of dairy—could that be increasing mucus and making my tonsil stones worse? Does Ayurveda have any natural ways to get rid of tonsil stones permanently? Are there specific herbs, gargles, or lifestyle changes that prevent them from coming back? If anyone has dealt with tonsil stones and found a lasting solution, please share! I’m tired of dealing with this gross feeling in my throat.
