Get checked: I am very familiar with your condition, and always got inflamed tonsils when I got a cold myself. The tonsil "stones" as you call them are consolidated oral plaque lumps which form in the indentations into the body of the tonsil. If you massage the tonsil from back to front you can squeeze out smelly lumps. Get checked, you may need then out!
