A member asked:

My tonsils always get tonsil stones or streaks of tonsil stones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Since they are caused by accumulation of debris, gargle with warm salt water after meals. Drink plenty of water to keep throat structures moist. Brush & floss teeth regularly. A water pick can dislodge tonsillar debris.
