A member asked:
I have tonsil stones. they come frequently and can be on the larger side. they smell and cause bad breath, can there be anything done about this?

Probably cryptic tonsillitis: presents with bad breath, chronic sore throat, and expelling of foul-smelling cheesy lumps. Offending organism is not usually strep germ. I would recommend to see an ENT specialist for proper medical or surgical care.
