Tonsil stones may get worse. Inflammation of the tonsils or lack of attention to oral hygiene, etc. can lead to increased secretion and retention of the tonsil crypts, resulting in blockage of the crypt openings, while necrotic cells, bacteria, food residues are encapsulated by secretions, which over time can form calcification and lead to stones. The more the stones accumulate, the larger they become, stimulating tonsil inflammation to persist.
Asymptomatic people with fewer and smaller tonsil stones will not cause discomfort and do not need treatment, and the stones may fall out on their own. They can also be removed by the doctor with a clean cotton swab, tweezers, or by negative pressure suction. If stones cause recurrent sore throat, bad breath, earache, difficulty in swallowing, or recurrent inflammation of the tonsils, tonsillectomy may be performed.
If the symptoms continue to be unrelieved, you should go to a regular hospital in time to find out the cause of the disease and standardize the treatment.
