A member asked:
Years ago i had a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy but i'm coughing up what look like tonsil stones? can't see them, what is it/how to get rid of them?

Tonsil stones : Sometimes when you have a tonsillectomy there is still a remnant remaining that could still cause tonsilloliths. Besides that, there is lymph tissue in the base of the tongue that might be a source of the problem. Brush your tongue in the back daily and gargle regularly. If no improvement in a month, see an ENT MD.
