A member asked:
Is there something that can dissolve tonsil stone? been 5 days. tried to dislodge but instead it went too deep in to reach to dislodge now. :'( smelly

Basic stuff: This is a very common problem. Most people can manage the condition by frequent gargling with listerine or hydrogen peroxide, gently brushing over the area with a soft brush, or using a water pik to dislodge them. Sometimes the tonsils may become chronically infected, painful, or swollen. Then it may be time to consider removal. You should see an otolaryngologist and discuss.
