I have an enlarged tonsillar crypt in one of my tonsils that is the perfect place for tonsil stones to form. I have good oral hygiene, but this area is not really able to be cleaned or cleared very easily, as it's sort of a little pocket. Every time I remove a tonsil stone, more come back very quickly. I only ever get them in this little area. I'm at my wits' end and don't know what to do to stop them from forming.

Hi guys I am new here and need advice. I have been getting stones for a while now but this evening I had one that was really irritating me so I removed it… then more and more kept coming and now it’s a never ending feeling of stones in that tonsil. I removed probably about 20 smaller ones and there are still so many more in there. I had to stop extracting them because my tonsil started to mildly bleed along with ear pain. I am so frustrated and it is keeping me up because of the discomfort. I brush twice daily, floss and mouthwash. Help

My doctor says he will completely remove my tonsils, but I am wondering if risks outweigh the benefits for me. I have cryptic tonsils and get food stuck in them and lots of stones. I dont have recurrent tonsillitis. I know a complete removal would solve the problem, but I am also wondering if just a partial removal or cryptolysis would be sufficient. I am hesistant for the complete removal due to the tonsils being an important part of the immune/lymphatic system. I have seen quite a few people say they get sick more often and have allergies since getting theirs removed, with the other half saying the opposite. The consensus seems to be that tonsils are not important for the immune system anymore, but I dont think thats been proven definitively

Has anyone resolved their tonsil stones problem with partial removal or cryptolysis?

for as long as i can remember i cough up a tonsil stone about ~every 3 weeks to a month.

i never know when one’s coming until it’s ejecting- ill feel something in my throat, cough, and it goes flying.

i brush my teeth twice a day and floss once a day- almost every day, i’m not perfect. i also mouthwash.

i never see them in my throat though i haven’t really looked, because again i never feel them.

i notice after one comes out my throat feels a little weird, like not soreeeee per se but just.. off.

should i be concerned? is this normal?
google is scaring me.
