Tonsil Stones: Understanding Tonsil Stones Perfectly
$15.79
The two little lumps of tissue at the back of the throat, the tonsils, can develop tiny, white or yellowish calcifications called tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths. Debris, dead cells, mucus, and germs that build up in the tonsils' crypts or pockets usually make up these stones.
Important details regarding tonsils include:
Formation: Debris that becomes lodged in the tonsil crypts, such as food particles, dead cells, and bacteria, leads to the development of tonsil stones. These substances solidify and calcify over time to produce tiny, frequently odorous stones.
Symptoms: Although symptoms of tonsil stones may not always be apparent, common indications include painful throats, trouble swallowing, bad breath (halitosis), and a feeling that something is lodged in the throat.
Risk factors: Those who have a history of recurrent tonsillitis or who have larger tonsils are at a higher risk of acquiring tonsil stones. Chronic sinus problems and poor dental hygiene might also be factors.
Diagnosis: A physical examination of the tonsils and throat is typically used to identify tonsil stones. To determine the size of the stones, imaging studies like CT scans may occasionally be carried out
