Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain tonsil stones are calcified structures formed due to calcification of food debris and dust that gets accumulated over the tonsils.
They are a potent cause of bad breath and causing recurring throat infection..
Inflammation in tonsils is the cause for bleeding..
You should consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated so that he can remove the stones manually..
Gargle with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water..
You can gargle twice a day with warm saline, do antimicrobial mouthwash gargles, limit the intake of high calcium and dairy products and always gargle after you eat anything..
In case if still the stones are formed in excess and are a cause of recurring sore throat Tonsillectomy can be done..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
