Tonsil stones can be removed at home by gargling yourself, and it is not recommended to remove them yourself by squeezing or other means to avoid damage to the tonsils. Tonsil stones are usually yellowish-white secretions retained in the crypts of the tonsils. Inflammation of the tonsils can be cryptic tonsillitis, in which the main inflammatory lesions are in the crypts, and the exudates from the inflammation in the crypts and some food residues are mixed together to form tonsil stones, which are blocked in the crypts of the tonsils. Tonsil stones that are superficial can be treated by gargling, such as oral saline or gargle to clean the surface of the tonsils, and some of the stones can fall off automatically. If tonsil stones do not show obvious symptoms, no special treatment is needed. If there are strong tonsil stones attached to the tonsils, the doctor can strip the tonsil stones to remove them. It is recommended that patients do not remove tonsil stones at home, so as not to cause damage to the tonsils, but should go to the hospital to consult the doctor to determine the location of the stones and choose the appropriate method of removal.
