Gargling: What you have is called tonsillolith, also known as tonsil stone or tonsillar calculus. Small tonsillolith are common and produce no symptoms, but large one may produce pain when swallowing. They appear to result from the accumulation of material retained within the tonsillar crypts, along with the growth of bacteria and fungi or yeast. Gargling salt water or lemon juice may help.
