How to check for tonsil stones

Tonsil stones can be clearly diagnosed through specialized examination and imaging examination. 1. Specialized examination: Separation with grasping forceps can be found gray-white, hard texture of fine sand and gravel, or in the enlarged tonsils can be touched to the hard mass, touching a slight pain. When squeezing the tonsil on the affected side, a small amount of white soybean residue-like secretion can be overflowed from the crypt of the tonsil. 2. Imaging: for deeper tonsil stones, generally can not be observed with the naked eye, this situation requires X-ray and CT examination, which can show the tonsil area point-like or patchy high-density shadow, and clearly show the presence of stones in the tonsil. If you suspect that you are suffering from tonsil stones, you can go to the hospital and see a specialist who can accurately examine the nature of the disease through standardized means.
