A member asked:
Hi. i discovered that i turn to have tonsil stones in my mouth in the mornings recently. what could be the problem? how can i treat this?

Tonsil stones: These are not stones, but rather collections of tonsil crypt epithelial debris, secretions, bacteria. You can try to gargle them out with dilute salt water gargles. You can debride them out with a curette. You can have tonsillectomy.
