Can what doctors have told me are "tonsil stone holes" from when i used to get tonsil stone holes cause you to die from infection or bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Tonsillar stones and the holes left behind do not cause bleeding. They are associated with low grade infections, but nothing life threatening.
