What should i do about tonsil stones?

i have had them since about the third grade, i’m a junior now. And recently my tonsils are so swollen i can hardly swallow and talk at times, and my breath just smells so bad. The Stones have gotten bigger over time and its getting really annoying like there is always something in the back of my throat. Can i possibly have my tonsils out? What did you do?

Taking out tonsils seems to have gone out of fashion… almost everyone of my age (55) had their tonsils out the minute they started causing a problem.. mine were taken out when I was 5… but now they seem to prefer to leave them in.. you know the answer here, go and see a doctor.. obviously, we can all give an opinion, but only a doctor can decide what to do. even if its decided not to remove them, it sounds like you need antibiotics at least.. apparently, when mine were bad, every little cut and graze I had turned septic because of the bacteria in my blood from the infected tonsils.. if you were my child, I would really pressure the doctor to have them removed.

How to get rid of Tonsil Stones?

I get tonsil stones all the time and I am always fooling with them, digging for them and its really anying and they give you bad breath. Does anyone know how to get rib of them???

This is a build up of sulfur producing microorganisms, and food fragments that become stuck in the tonsils. When these fragments mingle with the volatile sulfur compounds created by the anaerobic bacteria under the surface of the tongue, this causes chronic halitosis and tonsil stones.
