A member asked:

Is it possible for the cryptic tonsils to get normal again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jay Park answered

May not: Cryptic tonsil often causes chronic sore throat, halitosis, and expelling foul-smelling cheesy lumps. Tonsillectomy is required for cases not responding to antibiotic treatment.
