How to get rid of tonsil stones? Is a tonsillectomy common for this?

GreenSodaPop
I have an appointment with my ENT Dr. next week, but my tonsil stones are driving me insane. I haven't been able to swallow or eat due to them being so large and my tonsils being swollen. I've tried googling tips and all I can find are websites trying to sell me products. Does anyone know of ways to get them out? Is a tonsillectomy common for this issue? I've also have had problems with strep as well, but only about 2 or 3 times a year.
