A member asked:

4 huge tonsil stones just came out , they were stuck behind the flap that covers my tonsil. my tonsil now hurts very bad. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gurmukh Singh answered

No: Having tonsillar stones is not normal, nor is pain in the tonsils. It would be prudent to consult an ENT specialist.
