yummmymummy:

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????

Hi yummmy, hope you're well. Have never heard of this, but my heart goes out to your little boy, sounds terrible. Hope he feels better soon

hows your little boy yummy??? hope he's ok?

Thanks for the wishes He seems fine now and all traces of dog breath have disappeared and he is in no pain. He is off on his school trip today to Bram hall Hall to be Tudors. His packed lunch had to be Chicken drumstick,hunk of cheese and ham, chunk of bread, an old fashioned drink like dandelion and burdock and a couple of oat biscuits. He also had to wear tights cos they would be dressing up when they got there. Funny though he was desperate to put the tights on and pranced about in them all morning

I tell you what I will never comment on my problems again as after taliking about this I have not got tonsilitis and so does my daughter yet again-it was a curse, i'm sure of it!!lol

psml @ bugs

He coughed after swimming and and said " look mummy another stone" Looks like the blighters will keep coming back GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Doc is so reluctant to take his tonsils out (its the only cure) I had mine out when I was 21 and it took me yonks to recover....whip em out now i say

Yes, I sometimes get these.  They are easy to remove using a Powerfloss spray.  This is an oral tool, rather like a water pistol used for cleaning crud out of teeth, bridgework etc.  If you look in the mirror & shine a small torch at your tonsils whilst pointing the spray at the stone, a quick spray or two dislodges them.  It makes you gag the first time, but its quite satisfying to see them blasted off.

Nice!

 

Hi, I would persevere with the doctors if I was you. I had been plagued with tonsil problems for years and was due to have them removed several years ago but due to very personal reasons had to cancel the operation at the time. Since then I had numerous bouts of tonsillitis followed more recently by very severe infections which ran through my whole body, each episode worse than the previous. Finally a few months ago I was admitted as an emergency urgent case and had the operation. What was supposed to be a 45 minute operation ended up taking two and a half hours and I had compacted stones in both tonsils coupled with serious quinsies (which lie behind the tonsils so a GP cannot see them, only evident once operated on). The quinsies were what was causing the major infections and from their positions enabled the infection to go straight into my bloodstream. In short to remove everything a long operation ensued and I had to have part of the back of the room of my mouth removed to ensure everything was removed and sometimes tonsils can grow back, believe it or not! Had to be the worst operation I have ever gone through but it is renowned for being far worse with adults because their tissues are far older and established then a young child's. I am now over it with the exception of not being able to blow my nose due to a lack of pressure because of the roof of my mouth issue and I feel 100% better. So it just goes to show leaving things does not make them go away Mr GP.

It sounds like your son is a little boy which would mean a far easier operation than me at the grand old age of 40!! I was the oldest in the ward and felt a real lemon with all the brave kiddies. So I recommend that you keep pushing your GP or perhaps even ask to see a different GP for a second opinion. I was prescribed no end of antibiotics and nothing ever worked, infact too many antibiotics make you worse as they knock out everything in your system, good and bad! Best wishes to you and your son.
