I have holes in my tonsils and food gets stuck in them? What are the holes from?

It’s only been a problem for the last 5-6 years? But it gives me bad breath all the time. And it irritates me alot!

HI! I SUFFERED THAT CONDITION TILL I WAS TEN YEARS OLD!..LOST A LOT OF SCHOOLING EVERY WINTER.BIG LUMPS OF WHITE STUFF,WHICH USED TO COME OUT, AND LEAVE BIG HOLES,WHICH MORE FOOD GOT STUCK IN, WHICH TURNED INFECTED,AND SO THE BALL ROLLED ON!!I ALSO USED TO KEEP ON SNUFFLING,AS IF TRYING TO CLEAR MY NOSE-EVEN WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING TO CLEAR!![THIS USED TO HIGHLY IRRITATE EVERYONE AROUND ME..MY FATHER,MY TEACHERS,ETC!!]SOMETIMES MY DOCTOR WOULD PRESCRIBE A LOTION LIKE IODINE,
WHICH MY MOTHER HAD TO LITERALLY PAINT ONTO MY TONSILS..DARK BROWN LIQUID..IT WAS..
EVENTUALLY,MY DOCTOR REFERRED ME TO HOSPITAL TO HAVE MY TONSILS AND ADENOIDS OUT.
I NEVER HAD ANY MORE TROUBLE FROM THAT DAY ON!! [THIS WAS IN 1954 APPROX. ].
I DON’T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY DRUGS TO CURE IT THESE DAYS,CHEK OUT WITH YOUR G.P.
YOU DON’T STATE YOUR AGE, BUT IF IT’S ANY CONSOLATION,MY WIFE HAD HER TONSILS TAKEN OUT
ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO [APPROX],IT’S NOT JUST KIDS THAT HAVE IT DONE!![ SHE WAS IN HER FIFTIES THEN! ]
GET IT CHECKED OUT PROFESSIONALLY,MY FRIEND,
I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE!!

Tonsil Stones?

I get Tonsil Stones on a regular basis. I have been getting bad breath and am fed up of it.

You should try gargling with Listerine. If that doesn’t help, see your dentist.
