Are tonsil stones serious?

tonsil stones: The tonsils have multiple holes that can can get filled with bacteria, mucus and food debris. Overtime the debris can harden and form the so called tonsil stones. They are not serious but they can cause throat discomfort and bad breath.

Trivial: They're actually mostly made of keratin. There's a lot of misinformation about them. They can be smelly and uncomfortable. They're easy to remove if you've got steady hands. Get a penlight and a mirror and half-unbend a paper clip. You'll get good at it. Infection/injury risk is minor. Water pick is even better. If it's truly a nuisance, a otolaryngologist can laser-resurface your tonsils.
