Are there more people with tonsil stones

Tonsil stones is a disease with a very high incidence in otolaryngology, especially among middle-aged and elderly patients, and it is not a very strange disease. Patients who suffer from tonsil stones are advised not to worry and be afraid. Tonsil stones, which mainly occur in the superior tonsillar fossa, have a core of small foreign bodies, commonly food debris, and also include shed epithelial cells and bacteria. The clinical diagnosis of tonsil stones is not too difficult. For such patients, if there are not many stones, only a few, it is recommended that the patient rinses his or her mouth frequently and can get a doctor to peel out the stones with small tweezers or cotton swabs. If the stones are relatively large, you can also go to the hospital and the doctor can use a surgical stone to peel out the stones under local anesthesia on the surface. If there is an infection around the stone, the stone cannot be stripped at this time to avoid aggravation of the infection, and the stone must be treated only after the infection is under control. If the patient has multiple bilateral tonsil stones, medication is ineffective, repeated gargling is ineffective, and they are taken and grown, surgical treatment can be considered.
