Sorry guys another gross 1 from me Middle son had one, we removed it this aft.....ITS STUNK!!!

I have been worried about his bad breath for a while and assumed he didnt drink enough so it has been nag nag nag to drink more. Turns out after research on the net (doc tomoz) that he has a tonsil stone. Has anyone experienced these????

I've never even heard of it.

No i hadn't till today. Its a mass of bacteria that embeds its self in the pocket of your tonsil, from food and nasal drip when your asleep. God we sound like a really scabby family...promise we are not. Just bad luck all at once

Do they go white and hard?? If so I think I think I used t have them before but they come out on their own

Yes they look like a tooth in the tonsil. How did you get rid of them? Did they go on their own or did you have your tonsils out ?

Mine just came out they are pretty disgusting but havent had any for awhile! Still got my tonsils unfortunately!

my daughter had this and only got her tonsils out last year at the age of 22, turned out it was quincy...bad infected tonsils , a visit to the GP is needed x

Gosh and I hadnt heard of them till yesterday We are going to the docs in a mo to see what he says

hope all goes well x

I went to the Docs cos when I spoke to the practice nurse yesterday she told me to take him cos he will need antibiwosists. Did he get any???? NOOOOOOO AARRRGGHH just carry on doing what he is doing now (mouthwash)what a waste of my time

And he missed his after school club

if it doesnt get better take him back, if he can gargle with salty water its helpful, but dont swallow!!! childrens ibrufen is good too x
