A member asked:

Tonsiliths : There are a few simple things you can do. Salt water gargle will help to prevent them. You can use a Water-Pic which can be very helpful to irrigate them out. You can use a plastic ear curette (designed for removing wax from ear ) which is less uncomfortable than cotton swab. I would try to avoid surgery unless they frequently get infected.
