A member asked:
Can tonsil crypts (holes) from having tonsil stones cause you to bleed to death? seeing how it is a hole in your throat. mine hurt now and then.

Just a nuisance: It would be extremely unlikely to have any significant bleeding from tonsil stones. This is a common problem with irritation, discomfort, and mild bleeding at times. See an ENT for guidance on management of tonsil stones and consider tonsillectomy in some cases.
