A member asked:
I taste tonsil stones but don't see any when looking in the mirror. might they be lodged deep in my tonsils and is it safe to remove them with q-tip?

Tonsil stone: You cannot "taste" tonsil stones. If you cant see them and there is no other symptom, do not manipulate your tonsills with cotton at end of sticks.
