Tonsil stones are small and usually dislodged when eating and coughing. They usually do not require special treatment, and there are some easy ways to try to remove them in daily life, but they should be avoided to cause injury. Larger stones or deeper stones need to be treated by a doctor.
1. Gargle. After eating, you can use salt water or mouthwash to rinse your mouth, which not only improves periodontal health, but also removes food debris, and in the process of rinsing, you can tilt your head back appropriately;
2. Cotton swab removal. Note to fully expose the tonsils, use a flashlight in front of a mirror, make a “ah” sound, wet the swab, press or gently poke the stone until it falls off, then rinse the mouth with water, and then change the swab to remove the next stone.
3. Oral irrigator. Be careful not to use too much rinsing water pressure. After finding a stone, slowly rinse the stone until it falls out.
If you encounter deeper or more difficult to remove tonsil stones, do not blindly use violence, should go to a regular hospital, medical personnel can use special equipment to remove.
