HI !
Are the two of you bothered by sinus infections ? I've read tonsil stones and sinuses also go hand in hand.
One cure is sinus lavage with salt water or a nasal rinse (Al ka lol is a brand I've used.)
And in ayurvedic medicine, oil pulling with coconut oil. You can read articles about this. It's also not a bad thing or a harsh thing to do and it makes your teeth white. Do not spit the oil into the sink of the toilet, spit it into a waste can or you will clog your pipes.
Please use long handles cotton q tips, as they are soft to express the stones. There are major blood vessels back there and your brain !

Hi @gwenrn74, Thank you for the suggestions! But nope, no sinus issues for me. I’ve had tonsil stones pretty regularly since I was a child…now 71. They clear on their own without poking so I just let nature take its course. Doctors, over the years, have mentioned it’s just my physiology, and while the stones are annoying they’re not detrimental…and ‘don’t go pokin’ at it’. LOL.

I’ve routinely pulled with coconut oil for my oral health for years. I agree, it’s a very helpful for healthy tissue. It doesn’t seem to have had an impact on the tonsil stones though. I guess I’m inclined to go through life as a stoner. 😂😂
