lingual tonsil stones - please help!
Hi all,
I’m new to dealing with tonsil stones, I think I’ve had them before but feel like I am getting them more often. Started this past October, my son started pre school and brought home hand foot and mouth - which I of course caught. That’s when I first noticed I had a stone. Fast forward to March and I had another one. I was sick that week so figured that was the cause..but I’m still dealing with it a month later. Sore throat, a little dry as well and the feeling of something being in my throat when I swallow on one side. I was googling and found out you can get lingual tonsil stones - symptoms sounds like that was what I had. Sure enough, I found them. Was able to get some out but they’re pretty hard to see so I’m sure there is still some back there 🤢. I’ve always considered myself to have good oral care, brush twice daily, floss, mouthwash etc..so the fact that I have these are just grossing me out & also annoying. The feeling in my throat is the worst part for me. I’m going to starting trying other things like taking K2, chewing sugar free gum as well as my routine of mouthwash, salt water or baking soda mouth rinse/gargling. But I came on here to see if there was anything that worked for anyone else, dealing with this for a month straight has been a struggle for me, I do have a dr’s apt tomorrow and plan to get her advice as well..but I’m desperate. Help 😭
