I have tonsil stones and i was pushing one out and i saw some blood on the q-tip. is it normal or should i be worried?

Tonsil stones : 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 sometimes there may be some blood trying to dislodge them. Not of immediate concern. Continue good oral care but if problems worsen, see md to check.
