What is the best treatment for tonsil stones?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See an ENT: These can be removed with a surgical probe. Some people try to do this with a toothpick, but this is a dangerous practice and should be discouraged. If these become extremely large and recurrent it is sometimes an indication for tonsillectomy. But the best person to make that decision would be an ENT doctor.

Water pick: One of these, plus a mirror, a penlight, and good coordination is your best option.
