My name is April. I’m 25 and only recently started to develop tonsil stones. The first time I discovered something wasn’t right, I coughed and a nasty yellow ball came out. Since that day I have noticed my tonsil stones getting worse. I remove the stones at least once every other day, and while I haven’t noticed any bad breath, I can’t help but wonder when it will start. I’m at a loss on how to treat and prevent these nasty little things, but have found every other day removal, even if it is just a tiny one, to help.
I’ve been told by others that the stones where bacteria and that is why they smelled so bad, but after viewing several websites that seems not to be a completely accurate story. It helps to know that there are others like me out there!
