A member asked:
Do candida albicans (thrush) cause tonsil stones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Tonsil stones are usually an amalgamation of trapped food, discarded cells and debris from the tonsil, and the bacteria that live naturally in our mouth. They are not indicative of an infection and don't have a relationship with candida.
