To keep tonsil stones from recurring, tonsillectomy can be performed. Patients who don’t want to do surgery need to take good care of themselves in terms of hygiene habits, dietary habits and other aspects to avoid recurrence. It is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital, follow the doctor’s instructions for medication and treatment to avoid delays.
1. Tonsillectomy: the surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. After anesthesia, the tonsils are pulled with tonsil clamps, and the free edge of the palatoglossal arch and part of the mucous membrane of the palatopharyngeal arch are cut with a curved knife. Due to the excision of the tonsils, there will be no recurrence of tonsil stones.
2. Hygienic habits: you need to keep brushing your teeth regularly in your daily life, maintain oral hygiene, don’t let food residues stay in the mouth, and gargle with anti-inflammatory mouthwashes such as furacilin gargle and compound borax gargle after meals.
3. Dietary habits: you need to maintain a light diet, avoid eating spicy, stimulating or not easy to digest food.
