Over the last 7-8 months my 4 year old has coughed up tonsil stones a few times. First time I just thought he’d picked food out his mouth but the last couple of times I clocked what it was. I’d noticed the last week or so his breath becoming really bad, even though I am very strict with brushing teeth twice a day, and then he coughed some big ones up this morning and now his breath is not noticeable.

We’ve never had any issues with tonsillitis or strep etc and I don’t think he has issues with sleep nor does he snore but I don’t want him to have to deal with tonsil stones and bad breath :(

I’m based in the UK and I just don’t think the doctors would even think about referring to ENT / remove his tonsils. Anyone in the UK have any advice?
