I have had tonsil stones but now my right tonsil is very large. No sore throat scratchy throat pain just pressure pain. It feels as if i have a growth in my tonsil or a clogged duct. I can feel the lump in my tonsil with my tongue and if i push with my tongue a bad taste will follow. I have had pain behind my tonsil, in my ear and also behind the glands in my neck. I also have a wisdom tooth which is partially exposed. I dont know if they all are related pains or if its a wisdom tooth causing bacteria to enter the tonsils and cause stones but the pressure of the pain is very annoying and painful.
Thank you for your suggestion. I have tried this now and no tonsil stones have come out but I will try this again in a few days to see is any have formed. I have thought about a tonsillectomy but it always seemed a little extreme. I guess I will consult my doctor on the matter when I go to see him. Thanks again
If your gag reflex can tolerate it, you can try gently probing the tonsil to try to get a stone to work its way out. This may or may not be the problem. With as many infections as you have had, you may also want to consider the option of tonsillectomy. Painful recovery, but then these two problems would be solved...
