No: Always allow trained professional to manage your health for optimal outcome.

Actually you can: A water pick, a mirror, a penlight, and steady hands can turn this nuisance situation into something manageable. Having throat discomfort and nasty breath is a liability. If you try a half-unbent paper clip, be careful. If they are a huge nuisance, you can have laser resurfacing on your tonsils.
