Tonsil stones are formed when the crypt opening becomes fibrotic due to repeated episodes of tonsillitis, drainage is obstructed, and caseous material formed by shedding epithelium and bacterial debris accumulates in the crypt. It can be eliminated by mouthwash, medication, instrumentation and surgery.
1. Mouthwash gargle: Compound borax gargle, furacilin gargle and other disinfectant and anti-inflammatory mouthwash can be used to gargle, in order to remove the smaller tonsil stones that are attached to the surface of the tonsil crypts.
2. Drug therapy: this disease is mostly related to chronic tonsillitis, and can be treated with streptococcal allergens and vaccines for desensitization, and injections of placenta globulin, transfer factor and other drug therapy.
3. Instrumental removal of stones: granular stones can be removed by specialized doctors with the help of professional instruments.
4. Surgery: If it is difficult to remove large stones, or if stones are generated repeatedly, the patient can be examined by a specialist, and if the patient meets the indications for surgery, he or she can choose surgical treatment to remove the stones and tonsils.
When tonsil stones occur, you need to actively seek medical treatment, systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis and etiology, and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
