Don't use toothpick : Might cause significant bleeding which could be serious so please avoid. Usually they don't cause serious problems. I would usually recommend an ENT opinion about them and where removing the tonsils as a way of getting rid of the tonsolith is required or appropriate - they are often associated with recurrent tonsillitis. I suggest doctor or ENT consult to take things further.

DON'T: Leave it alone unless you want to end up at the business end of a surgical scalpel.

Leave alone: amygdaliths or tonsilar stones are generally not noticed until they dislodge and suddenly appear as a hard white lump about the size of a rice grain. Trying to remove them is not a great idea. They are not associated with any malignant condition.
