Less Discussed Cures For Tonsil Stones

This blog contains a lot of information on treating bad breath and tonsil stones, however, much of the tonsil stone discussion is around my experience of the problem and my experience with the various treatments. It is worth mentioning at this point that one cure might work for one person but not for another and it is for that reason I decided to list the below less discussed treatments which I have discovered but they do not seem to have received the coverage online that the more conventional treatments have received:

Nasal Drops

The letters ENT are associated with one another in the medical profession such is the association between conditions effecting one area creating symptoms in another, we even have Ear Nose and Throat Specialists.

Having established that no one knows for sure what causes tonsil stones but that we are certain that they are mainly made up of bacteria, in my experience, an effective preventative measure for tonsil stones is the elimination of bacteria in the mouth. Given the close link between ears, nose and throat it seems to naturally make sense to also eliminate as much bacteria from the nasal passages as possible and there are nasal drops available that will take care of this for you.

Check out amazon where you can pick up some drops if you are interested.

Throat lozenges

Another slightly less known option for tackling tonsil stones is the trusty throat lozenge. It is possible to buy anti-bacterial throat lozenges, which, if you allow to dissolve as far back as comfortable in your mouth actually leave an anti-bacterial coating in your throat. As with the nasal drops the lozenges are really more of a preventative treatment than a cure but, if you are a chronic sufferer then they might well act as the final nail in the coffin of the tonsil stones, and they actually taste good too.

  1. White spots on tonsils are actually food particles covered in mucus, which solidify to take the shape of white patches or stones. As food particles get stuck around the tonsils, mucus gets secreted and covers these food particles; and we have what we call white spots on tonsils.
