A member asked:
I have been having white smelly stone looking things coming out from my tonsils. could this mean i have tonsil stones?

Yes: These can usually be extruded with the blunt end of a tooth brush or with a tongue depresor. A water pik may be useful.

Yes.: Try to brush your tonsils if you can reach back there. Rinse with warm salt water, this too seems to help.
