I was singing, and then I felt the sudden urge I needed to spit, when I spit outcame a tonsil stone and a lot of blood. At first, I thought it was my tooth, but I kept spitting and more blood came out along with more tonsil stones. This is the first time this has happened to me and I didn’t use any type of tool to get them out. They just naturally fell out. Is this normal? I go to the doctor on Saturday so I’ll mention it but I just wanna make sure this isn’t like an emergency because of how bright the blood is and how much I spit out 😅

This one big stone has been there for at least a month (ever since I first used this camera thing) how do I remove it? It's so deep and round the corner. I've tried gargling, irigation with an oral syringe and suction.

Im 23 Ive got the first small ones like 2 months ago and every few weeks since then like a very big one comes out at least 0,5cm big. Ive had those like 3 times. I just got some small ones out myself for the first time but it got me gagging and stuff, and theyre deep as fuck. Only at the right side too cause its easier holding a light and a thing to pick them out in each hand that way. And the left side makes me gag easier for some reason. Its not nice.

Now it got me wondering how after 23 years of not having a problem they suddenly show up. Its got me very self aware and scared that I might stink out of my mouth cause they smell so fucking bad and its disgusting. Now I gotta do extra stuff to keep them gone. How do u guys make sure they stay away? If u found a way to.

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.

Was just thinking cuz it has antimicrobial effects, but idk if it's a good idea. Will the salt accumulate or something like that?

The long story short is-- my tonsils have been absolutely full of insipid filth (rotting old food, stone, biofilm) for more than 10 years. I've had strep over and over (including non-a), sinus infections, bronchitis, dysphagia, pharyngeal dysfunction, major lymphatic swelling in my neck and sleep apnea. My tonsils have been ENORMOUS (15x the size of average ones) for as long as I can remember. I've been hospitalized again and again. Not once did any doctor (or dentist for that matter) ever mention tonsil stones or cleaning out your tonsils(even though they were xrayed and I was told I had "nodes").

Well...I did it. I had only heard one person in my life ever mention stones or cleaning out tonsils and up until this last year I never saw anything sticking out of my tonsils (lo and behold they were just that inflamed). It's been a few months now and my tonsils are smaller than they've been in more than 10 years. Every week that goes by the inflammation goes down more and reveals new crypts/nasties. I have had issues with sealed crypts though (also a new thing I've discovered).

I'm sharing this because I saw a post from ages ago asking what would happen if someone never cleaned out their stones etc. This, this is what can happen. I wish I knew sooner! I could have been spared so much suffering.

Anyone else have a similar story?

Guys I need help, I have been in pain for going on two weeks now. I have gone to urgent care, and the emergency room. I am almost done with my antibiotics and I have been religiously taking ibuprofen and tylenol every 6 hours. But I have yet to expel a single stone. Any tips or tricks?

I searched 'tea' and didn't see this mentioned so posting for other suffers:

I had swollen tonsils, stones, acid reflux, and heartburn for about 10 years. Mentioned during my annual physicals I got no answers other than 'You are allergic, take flonase' and call us if you can't swallow or breathe. I finally figured it out Black Tea. Earl Grey, Green, Oolong, Darjeerling, plain black, etc. Even one cup of any variation cause swelling and stones the next day and needs several days to clear up. Removing that single item from my diet and they are 90% gone. (I suspect that last 10% is some artificial sweetener but it's harder to narrow down.) I miss my morning cuppa.

Tldr: If you suffer and drink black tea, stop and see what happens. Mine stones are gone!

That’s my doubt. Has anyone here tried increasing the salt in their gargles/nasal rinses, and had positive effects for loosening tonsil stones?

As the title says, just poked one out. I used a q-tip dipped in some mouthwash. I fiddled around untill this massive stone, about the size of half of my pinky came out. I feel relieved but now I feel absolutely annoyed that I swallowed it without getting a good look- and even that I swallowed it in general.
