Can you always see tonsil stones?or can they be hiding? my right tonsil is just a bit smaller got many stones out the left bit larger but see no stone

Tonsil stones: No you don't always see tonsillar stones. Sometimes they are buried deep in the crypts of the tonsils and cannot be seen. You may suspect them if you have bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth.
