Tonsil stones: Your symptoms suggest tonsil stones, also called tonsilloliths or calculi. Or they may be concretions in the tonsillar crypts. Any throat sore throat symptoms? If so, you may use salt water gargles (1/2 tsp per 1 cup water) several time daily, or OTC sore throat lozenges. In themselves, these tonsil stones are not a concern, except that they may be a cause for halitosis. Hope that helps.
