A member asked:
Do tonsilloliths always pop out, or do some just slowly shrink? i've been gargling with salt water and every morning they look a little smaller.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mine pop out...: Usually after they get to a certain size of with a big sneeze. I haven't had then for a while, but mine never "shrunk." If it works for you, keep going with it.
