A member asked:
I have been getting tonsil stones for years- but now i have this clear "grit" coming out of my tonsils. what could this be?

Tonsilliths: Much the same stuff. Stiff food and material that gets stuck in the deep crypts do your best to wash it out with a water pik. Most of the time the only way to get rid of these is to get the tonsils removed. Good luck and feel better.
