Hello everyone,
I am a little new to this so I don't even know if I am posting this in the right place but I thought I would share my tonsil stone blues as well.
A few years ago I was suffering from a really bad cold and sneezed harder than I had ever sneezed before and out came a white ball of stuff that flew across the room. I picked it up and could smell it just taking it to the toilet to flush. I was really grossed out. So grossed out that I quickly just tried to forget about it.
Recently I began noticing a white patch in one of my tonsils and thought maybe I was getting sick but I felt fine. I went to the dr. who just kind of chuckled and told me what it was. I was totally disgusted and immediately went home and was able to dig it out. I did not want to hurt my tonsils so I was able to squeeze it out like a zit...how charming :) Anyhow, I noticed that soon I had one more, and one more after that and got so tired of them that I sought the internet and found this site.
I have had my septum straightened recently and have had more of a problem with post nasal drip since. I have been taking zyrtec for my allergies and was trying to get off of it because of the cost and realized when I went back on it as prescribed the stones disappeared. I am no dr. but this seemed to do the trick. I also floss on a regular basis, drink more water, and when brushing include brushing the toungue (as unpleasant as that is), and gargling with scope. Anyway have been just fine since and no stones!!
