does removing tonsils cure the bad breath from tonsoliths
has anyone had their tonsils out to remedy this prblem? did it work? what about coblation tonsillectomy for adults?
i have them all the time and i could never figure out why i had them and i researched, but nothing helped until a few mins ago i saw one in like a tonsil hole in the back and i tried to get it out but it didnt work so i scrunched up my throat and pushed down on my tosil and a whole load of tonsiliths came out and i did the same thing to the other side and it freaked me out cuz blood came with it, i noticed my right tonsil was way bigger then my left one, it was becuase there were alot more in there and i guess it created and infection
TONSOLITHS FIX
PLEASE READ THIS! IT WILL SAVE YOU A LOT OF GRIEF!
I just fixed my tonsil stone problem!
I'm not into alternative remedies, but after using a combination of amoxicillin and flonase to no avail, I decided to take matters into my own hands:
I went to the pharmacy and picked up a small plastic syringe (without a needle-- DO NOT USE A NEEDLE!), which Walgreens actually gave to me for free, as they don't sell them.
I filled the syringe with a mild saline solution made from nasal irrigation salts in water.
I put the syringe into the pockets in the back of my throat and fired! Presto! A heap of tonsoliths, hidden way down in the recess, came popping out. I immediately repeated this a few times until the tonsoliths stopped appearing. It's been a week, and I've re-irrigated a few times, just to make sure, but I think I've cured myself! Nothing has popped out since that first cathartic rinse. And my bad breath is gone.
The bacteria that causes the tonsoliths sits in the recesses in the tonsils, so it's really hard to remove all our tonsoliths.
When I decided to irrigate my tonsils, I thought that I had succeeded in removing all my tonsoliths through pressure and prodding with a Q-tip-- I thought that the irrigation would just kill the bacteria and prevent the formation of any others. I had no idea that the cavities in the tonsil run so deep. No wonder clearing a few tonsoliths manually had achieved little in the way of curing my bad breath!
So, my advice is to irrigate, and not to poke around with your tonsils using your fingers or anything else. A neat jet of water, and you're done!
PS. I've also tried irrigating with Listerine, in an attempt to make sure I've killed the bacteria. Not sure which is better, but I'd start with saline as it's milder.

Thank you.
I am skeptical about having this procedure because of my age, although getting rid of the problems caused by my tonsils would be worth the risks I think because it really does affect my daily life.
thank you again

How are you? Tonsillectomy could remove tonsilloliths permanently and thus eliminate the main cause of bad breath. Bipolar Radiofrequency Ablation or Coblation is a procedure that produces an ionized saline layer that disrupts molecular bonds without using heat. This mechanism can be used to remove all or only part of the tonsil. It is done under general anesthesia in the operating room and can be used for enlarged tonsils and chronic or recurrent infections. This causes removal of tissue with a thermal effect of 45-85 C and it has been claimed that this technique results in less pain, faster healing, and less post operative care.
