Does everyone have tonsil stones?

Tonsil stones do not occur in everyone, but are mainly found in people who have recurrent tonsillitis or who do not pay special attention to oral hygiene. Because there are 6-20 crypts inside the tonsils, when tonsillitis occurs, there will be pus plugs made of bacteria and leukocytes in these crypts, and in the intervals with the extrusion of swallowing movements, the pus plugs inside the tonsils will be gradually discharged, resulting in the emergence of granular powdery secretion, accompanied by a foul odor. Therefore, for the treatment of this kind of disease, we must pay attention to maintain oral hygiene, you can brush your teeth after meals, before going to bed, and usually use mouthwash to rinse your mouth. If it is recurrent tonsillitis, especially purulent tonsillitis more than 4-5 times a year, it is recommended to perform surgical treatment, which is also one of the most long-term and radical treatment methods. Prolonged swallowing of these pus plugs can lead to malfunctioning of the gastrointestinal tract, causing weakness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and low-grade fever.
