Remove Tonsil Stones
As ThompsonF in the forums suggested, I’m writing an article on methods of tonsil stone, (tonsillolith tonsillith) removal! Some have worked for me fairly well, some haven’t but nevertheless I’m covering all of them that I know of. If you know of any other methods leave a reply and I’ll add it to the list. =]
- Q-Tip apply pressure to the tonsil area, working from bottom to top. This pushes the tonsil stones out of the tonsil crypts. Be careful of your gag reflex though XD
- Grapefruit Seed Extract is, in general, an awesome antibacterial substance. It also does wonders on keeping fresh breath, as well as tonsil stones prevention! Check out my review of grapefruit seed extract here at the Grapefruit Seed Extract Review. Try it and give your own feedback!
- Gargling with Salt-Water. This method hasn’t worked specifically well for me, but I bet with combination of removal then garling with salt water I bet it can help with reduction, or help ease removal if used before
- Water-Pik. I’ve had a bad experience with this one. I bought some random cheap one on amazon and tried it on the “low” setting to shoot water either in the crypt or to shoot it at the tonsil tissue to push tonsil stones out. First time I tried it I almost drown myself (there’s some things you really just shouldn’t admit) and ended up with a bloody tonsil! But reports from users say that water piks work great for them! It’s definitely worth a shot anyways.
- Bobby Pin bent to dig tonsil stone out. Well, I really wouldn’t recommend this hehe. You could try it but there’s a good chance you might end up with an infected tonsil from stabbed it to death. This would only work good if you have a real big tonsil stone sticking half way out of your crypt. (still no recommended!)
- Change of Diet can do wonders for reduction of tonsil stone occurrence!
Welp, this concludes my general list of ways to effectively removal tonsil stones, otherwise known as tonsilloliths or tonsilliths (tonsillolith is the correct name by the way). Again if you can think of, or personally use, any other effective methods leave a post and I’ll add to the list! Together we can create a wonderful source of information for the general community on tonsil stone removal, remedies, and cures!
Here’s my first video on tonsil stones for your viewing pleasure 
Take care of yourselves,

i think i might have these things to i cough up chucnks sometimes but i never knew what they were. i will try these methods! thank you
When flushing out the tonsil stones, aren’t you likely to swallow them and that would be even more gross!:/
Yes that could definitely happen =] Better down your throat than in your tonsil I guess.

how do i get it out of my throat…i feel like it’s not in my tonsils.

uggggh this sucks
Hey Jamie, salt water *can* be effective but by far the most effective cure we’ve found is grapefruit seed extract! Look at the bottom of the home page for a link to the review of this wonderful product =] Simply gargling with GSE will eliminate the feeling of something stuck in the back of your throat. I would also stay away from drinking milk/eating cereal with milk/yogart/anything that’s liquid and dairy. Within 3 days to a week of this and you will be tonsil stone free.
Thanks alot.
I personally end up using my fingers most of the time, as I’m able to put pressure on the tonsil from either the top or the front. The Q-tip isn’t really strong enough for me, but I still use it for the extra reach it offers.
To Jamie: push it out with a q-tip! That always works for me, when I have a nagging one that wont come out on its own. Get a flashlight and go to the mirror, most of the time you can see the tip of it sticking out of the crypt (be warned, seeing your tonsil with a stone hanging out of it can be pretty unnerving the first time). Put the q-tip near the crypt and push like you’re popping a pimple. It usually eases right out. If the stone is big like you say, it might bleed a little.
Good luck! I hate these things.
heyy..im a 14 year old girl who has tonsil stones and they suck! i have on now stuck in my tonsil thats like attached too tha tonsil,and what its doing is when i rub my tounge against it, it stabs my tonsil and it hurts soooo bad
i have tears in my eyes when i do it
My wife pulled a tonsil stone out of her mouth one day and asked me to smell it. It nearly knocked me over it smelled so bad. Kind of like death, to be honest. She ended up having her tonsils and adenoids removed and the problem went away. I feel for anybody who has to live with tonsil stones.
