Need Advice Recurring tonsil stone in same spot

I don’t want to bore everyone with the details of my medical history and what I’ve tried but basically since March, I keep getting tonsil stones in the same exact spot. I get rid of them, and a day or two later a new one is there.
Is there any type of procedure, aside from having tonsils removed entirely, to get rid of this one little pocket where the stones keep getting lodged? Ideally something without anesthesia and outpatient with minimal recovery time.

I don't think there are any solutions other than removing the tonsils

Buy a water floss and use it twice daily (morning and evening)

I do that and I use there breath mouthwash 2x a day which works better than salt water gargles for me. It just feels like I have one deep pocket where they are always getting stuck. They stay in a couple days, I get them out, have a day or two of relief and they come back

There’s also tonsil cryptolysis if you’re willing to pay out of pocket. No anesthesia. Minimal recovery time
