Discovering the handling of tonsil stones is easy and removing them from your oral cavity

By Wesley Thurmond


Ever wondered what the human tonsils are actually for. According to doctors, the fleshy tissue that you see near the opening of the throat is intended to capture bacteria. And other potential micro attackers, so they never reach the gastrointestinal tract and the other organs.

Sadly, the tonsils sometimes don't perform their intended biological tasks competently. The tonsils have the capability to capture different bacteria and even viruses, but they can also swell up and become infected. And the tonsils can also develop what is now known as tonsilloliths, or tonsil stones.

Tonsil stones are hard and calcified formations that are usually anchored in a few folds or clefts in the throat area. On their own, these formations are usually not that harmful to folk. Medical science tells us that we all have to some degree. Tiny formations in our tonsils unless you've had yours surgically removed already, but only a little p.c. of the people understand what do tonsil stones smell like.

Indicators of tonsil stones

If you think you have tonsil stones, it is advisable to check with your health practitioner first, just to be sure. Common indicators of this condition include halitosis in some harsh cases, discomfort and difficulty when swallowing. Any discomfort felt while swallowing is perhaps caused by the inflammation of the tonsil tissues, which can occur quite easily if there's a sizeable obstruction adhering to the walls of the tonsils.

Extremely large tonsil stones 40 grams in weight and above are, typically, removed surgically. Do not be disturbed the surgery itself is awfully minor, and in most situations you will be running a few minutes after the removal of the offending tonsil stone. Some people also typically remove tonsil stones with little picks or even long swabs.

Do this only if your health practitioner has examined you. It wouldn't do you any harm, but remember: picking your mouth can be difficult particularly if you happen to have a quick and powerful gag reflex. The tonsil stones will most likely be attached to the very opening of the throat, which can easily trigger the gag reflex.

If you do not want any one of these concerns, have a doctor remove it for you, because your health practitioner has got access to a range of injectable. Numbing agents which will help in suppressing the gag reflex during the removal of the tonsil stones.

If your tonsil stones are comparatively little, and you don't have any difficulty swallowing, you might need to try gargling with warm salt water to help in easing the discomfort. Gargling with luke-warm water can help in cutting any swelling in the area.

The salt in the water, on the other hand, will help to reduce bacterial activity because salt is a natural antibiotic agent. This home cure is suggested by doctors, and if you've got a less than stellar record. When talking of daily oral cleanliness, this home remedy may very well be your ticket to days free from throat pain.
