Are throat crypts dangerous to your health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Crypts: Do you mean tonsil crypts? they are not dangerous but can be the cause of tonsil stones and recurrent infections and pain. If you gargle after meals to keep the crypts clear, then you wont have problems. If it does become a chronic problem then tonsillectomy is the definitive treatment.
