What To Do When Tonsil Stones First Appear
Once you've discovered the little white things on your tonsils, it might be easier to think that if you leave them alone, they will just go away on their own! You might try gargling with salt water a few times and if you're lucky, they will disappear and you will not have to look further into how to remove tonsil stones (which is what they're called).
Tonsil stones may develop after a cold due to the fact that during this time, there is a lot of mucus going into your throat from your nose. The longer your nose is stuffed up and mucus is traveling through the system, the more chance there is that stones will form. Mucus traveling will pick up bacteria and then can get trapped on the tonsils and start tonsil stones growth. If you continue to gargle throughout this time, it may get rid of them at that point.
But if you just wake up one morning with a sore throat and discover you have tonsil stones, the problem may be caused by something more than just a sickness or something you ate That being said, they really can be caused by what you eat! At some point, something you ate may have got caught in the tonsil crevices. At this point, the particles are so small you will not be able to see them if you look in your mouth.
As the particles begin to collect other things that are traveling down the mouth, bacteria begin to grow. You may notice after while that you now not only have a sore throat, but also horrible smelling breath! At this point, even though they're not dangerous to your health, you will want to figure out what you're doing, or could be doing to remove tonsil stones.
Sometimes bacteria will make your tonsil stones get bigger even if you have good brushing habits. It's time now to check out what you're eating and drinking daily that may be helping the mucus and bacteria thrive. Dairy products have been known to make mucus, so trying to eliminate these from your diet can be a good first start.
Hopefully now you know a few secrets to remove tonsil stones. Try the things I noted first: gargling with salt water twice a day, removing dairy from your diet, and eating yogurt (or taking a pill that has the active cultures in yogurt). If these things don't help, it's time to make a few more changes in what you're eating and drinking.
