A member asked:

Can you pull out more than 1 tonsil stone in 1 craves. i pulled out 3 last night from 1 craves and now there is a very small hole in my tonsil. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes each cavity or crypt can have several stones on it. After removing it you will see the hole that they previously had filled and it may appear stretched from the removal.
