Remove Tonsil Stones - Q-tip & Waterpik to Effectively Remove Any Tonsillithis in Your Throat

First I want to continue to advice that this is not a permanent solution it's a temporary relief. Now before you begin to use a q-tip you might want to have it disinfected. You do this in order to keep your tonsils clean from any foreign bacteria. Soap and water is OK to use for this reason.

I know that some persons try to remove these blobs with their fingers. I wouldn't recommend you do this for two reasons. First, you could damage your tonsils with your nails. Second, you can cause an inflammation by exposing the tonsils to bacteria that lives on your fingers. So don't do this.. Use a q-tip instead.

When you have disinfected the q-tip you are ready to try getting the little bug out. Get in front of a mirror to see better and start to "massage" the area where the tonsil stone is located. Try side to side, up and down and circular motions as well. Find the best motion that works with you. You might want to press gently on the tonsils as you are twisting the q-tip.

Do this until the stone pops out and you want flush it down in the sink. Make sure that you use a q-tip that's stiff enough. If you have a q-tip that's to flexible you will experience a U form before you can generate enough pressure to get it out.

But you shouldn't press too hard as this can damage the tonsil and cause a sore throat. Please watch the video below on how to do it safely

This is a second option that you can use to remove any tonsil stones that has been stuck in your throat. This way requires you to have a special machine called Waterpik. It's machine that was designed to massage the gums of the mouth and help to floss between the teeth.

What it does is that it flushes water through a mouthpiece and any debris can be spit out or swallowed.

We are going to use this for the tonsils. You simply fill the machine with water (you can add warm water with a bit of salt in to help dissolve the stones) and then start to flush out the tonsil crypts. You can adjust the water pressure higher or lower if you need to. Any stone that's stuck will almost instantly pop out once you start flushing.

This is a way that many find effective and more cleaner than using a q-tip. It's good that you don't need to touch the tonsil with any object other than the water. This reduce the chance or causing damage such as bleeding and irritation to the tonsils.

A Waterpik can be purchased at stores like Walmart or online at Amazon.com

Tonsil stones are believed to be a mixture of food particles, bacteria, enzymes, and dead white blood cells. For some reason this gets stuck in the tonsil crypts and are eventually hardened into white rubber like stones that smells terrible.

The crypts are a hollow like formation on the tonsils which function is being debated. However, we do know that the tonsils help to produce defences against worms and parasites.

Why food particles and bacteria seem to stuck more at some people than others needs more study.. However, you should focus getting a healthy throat to solve your problem.

Should you remove the tonsils all together? Many people including doctors seem to think that this is the only option to effectively get rid of the problem. If you want to remove the tonsils then you have to keep in mind that these stones are just a symptom of something not functioning as it should.

If you remove the tonsils then perhaps the problem will show itself in a different way. Some reports that the stones seem to appear further down the throat instead.
