Tonsil stones without treatment have effects on the organism as follows: 1. They can block the tonsillar crypts and cause recurrent inflammation of the tonsils, which can lead to pain and fever in the pharynx. 2. Recurrent tonsillar inflammation can also cause local complications in the pharynx, such as peri-tonsillitis and peri-tonsillar abscess, as well as systemic complications, such as arthritis and nephritis. Therefore, for tonsilloliths, active treatment is usually required. You can gargle more after meals to reduce the bacterial residue in the throat. Antibiotics such as amoxicillin clavulanic acid potassium, metronidazole, etc. are needed to treat the inflammation and eventually the tonsils are removed along with the stones.
