A member asked:
What other surgical options are there besides tonsillectomy? had tonsillectomy yrs ago but still have stones coming from throat.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adenoidectomy: Rarely the adenoids will form stones. But more commonly sometimes the tonsils are not removed totally and the stones can be formed again. If unsure see an ENT and let them examine you and may have another source. Your entire upper airway needs to be checked.
