To determine whether there are tonsil stones, it is necessary to determine based on clinical symptoms and physical examination, imaging and other clinical examinations.
1. Tonsil stones are prone to recurring symptoms of bad breath with corruption in the oral cavity, which may be accompanied by pharyngeal pain during swallowing, ear pain, recurrent cough, neck pain, and the history of chronic tonsillitis such as dryness of the pharynx, pharyngeal foreign body sensation, and slurred speech.
2. Physical examination reveals the presence of hard, yellowish-white granular material in the tonsillar fossa, and after cleaning, the tonsillar fossa is dilated and the tonsils are enlarged.
3. Combined with X-ray, CT or magnetic resonance examination, it can be found that there are high density shadows in the tonsil area.
To determine whether there are tonsil stones, it is necessary to go to the ENT department of the hospital, to determine the cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
