A member asked:
Food keeps getting stuck in my tonsil crypts, and i have acid reflux for which i am taking ppi. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 different problems: The acid reflux is not related to food particles getting caught in the crypts of the tonsils. The acid reflux is a GI problem and needs the advice of that specialty. The food particles can be a source of a bad odor to the mouth noted not only by you but by people near to you. If the problem with the tonsil alters your quality of life significantly, tonsillectomy is curative.
