    I get a new one every week or so and I have learned to get rid of them pretty easily. I dip the end of a q-tip in mouth wash and sweep it out i guess u could say, but I do it so that it doesn’t fall back in my throat, I make it stick to the q-tip then its out. After that I usually gargle. They are annoying, but I have learned an easy way to get them out.

    I get these all the time, ones even bigger than that, they are weird but no cure is available despite what you hear. If you use the end of your finger to push on your bottom portion of your tonsil they will pop out, oh don’t vomit trying ok…..seriously it will work!

    Hiya .. Well I actually used to believe I am suffering from some throat cancer symptom or something earlier. I am glad I got to read of this tonsillolith shit..

    mine used to be whiter when i was 15 and now at 24 they are hardened yellowish stinky stuff.. although they used to come out in giantular dimensions earlier. now a days i squueze the tonsil itself and get the shit out . the tonsils as a result have holes in them from where the shit comes out from .

    it really causes me a lot of trouble when im kissing my mates as a few have complained of me having bad breath . and this leaves me disturbed.

    what i have also realised is that this tends to get aggravated the night I go out drinking Alcohol and then I keep getting hte taste in my mouth of hte stink and i know a number of them would form in the next few days.

    and it comes true.. as the entire tonsil edges get packed with new tonsilloliths .

    So i guess halitosis for me is really bad. it seriously upsets me as i love kissing and its made my kissing scene a living nightmare.
