No: Hi. Nope, tonsil stones are not in the least bit related to Graves' or elevated T3 (liothyronine) or T4 results. 'Nuff said.

Tonsil stones: NO - tonsil stones are a conglamoration of material produced in the various "nooks and crannies" of the tonsils they are limited to the tonsils and do not effect the thyroid gland. As worse they can cause bad breath and pain.

Not usually.: By "tonsil stones" I think u mean tonsillolith, or stones in the tonsil ducts. To my knowledge, there is no association b/w them & Graves' disease. The elevated T3 (liothyronine) & T4 are from Graves' disease itself. Even after treatment, T3 (liothyronine) &T4 can take some time to come down to normal (usually a few weeks). If they persist in being high, u may have another problem. Talk to an endocrinologist to navigate. Thank
