Suggest Remedy For Tonsil Stones

I get tonsil stones very often, and it is very annoying I try to remove them myself but it is hard because I can barely see my tonsils all I see is the huge white speck on them. I was wondering is it normal to have small tonsils, and how can I prevent tonsil stones? Thank you.

hello

Yes it is normal to have small tonsils so there is nothing to worry about , tonsil stones can be prevented by regular gargling with warm salt water. If they are causing too much trouble or pain , then it is advisable to remove the tonsils surgically , please discuss this with your doctor.

Thanks
