Is there anything that can be done about tonsil stones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsil stones: You may wish to try warm saline gargles or hydrogen peroxide gargles to dislodge the tonsil stones. If the tonsil stones are chronic, persistent, particularly of they are contributing to chronic sore throat, or halitosis, you may want to consider tonsillectomy.
