Causes of tonsil stones and how to remove tonsil stones.

Age, bacterial infection and drug factors.

1. bacterial infection: food residues are easy to cause bacteria, and under the action of bacteria, they will slowly rot, harden and form stones.

2. Drug factors: Prescription drugs such as hypertension drugs, painkillers and antidepressants can also cause tonsillar stones. This is because the side effects of these drugs will dry the mouth, which means that there is not enough saliva in the tonsils to wash away food and bacteria. Tonsillar stones can be formed when the lumps formed by calcified food, mucus and bacteria remain in the depression of tonsil.

3. Age: Adults have large tonsils with uneven surface. With the growth of tonsils, these "pits" will become bigger, making it easier for food to stay in them and form stones.

1. Small stones: they can be removed by curette or pliers, and some can be removed by negative pressure suction.

2. Large stones: the mucosa is cut and taken out under topical anesthesia, but it needs to be prevented from falling into the respiratory tract.

3. Local treatment: If it is peripheral inflammation caused by stone stimulation, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for local treatment, such as gargling to eliminate tonsillar stones. Or directly apply the medicine to the corresponding parts of mandible and tonsil to achieve the purpose of clearing away heat and toxic materials, reducing swelling and resolving hard mass.

4. Excision: For intractable tonsillar stones, if conservative treatment fails, tonsillectomy can be considered to eliminate throat discomfort and bad breath.
