A member asked:
I've had kidney stones at least 6 times within the past 3 years. i've been taking out my own tonsil stones. is there a link? why do i get them?

Maybe: Stones in the kidney can be cause by chemical imbalance in the urine or infection. It is the same for tonsils or salivary glands. However, because they do different things, it is just as likely that they are caused by different things. Ask your doctor to test your stones (when you find them) to see if the kidney stones are the same composition as the tonsil stones.
