Stones in the throat mostly refer to tonsil stones, which are mainly found in the tonsil crypts, and can be cleared by gargling, tweezing or surgery. Stones in the throat are found mainly in the tonsil crypts. The surface of the tonsils is not smooth and flat, and there are depressions reaching into the tonsil parenchyma called tonsil crypts. There are about 6-10 crypts on each side of the tonsil, and stones are found in these crypts. For stones that are not too solid, they can be cleared by gargling. However, for stones that are more deeply hidden, tweezers may be needed to remove them. If there is concurrent inflammation or if the patient has a foreign body sensation on weekdays and it cannot be removed by non-surgical means, the stone will need to be cleaned up by surgical means, such as a tonsillectomy. If tonsil stones cannot be relieved by gargling, seek prompt medical attention to complete the relevant examinations and remove them under the operation of a doctor.
