Can i bleed to death from what i think are tonsil crypts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: But these can be annoying, especially when they are the sites for formation of tonsilloliths. If you have any concerns about an oral lesion, a visit to your dentist often resolves the question. Best wishes.
