A member asked:
My daughter appears to have tonsil stones. although she had her tonsils removed nine years ago. is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsils: The palatine tonsils usually do not come back following removal, however the lingual tonsils can get enlarged and produce symptoms. The best way is to take a picture of the back of the mouth and present it here or show to an ENT physician to describe what you mean by "tonsil stones"
