Hello,

I am sure it is Tonsillolith, It is called stone in the tonsil. Tonsil has many cleavages in it where food gets stuck and later upon them calcium gets deposited to form stone.

You may have foul smelling breath due to this residual foot residue in the tonsil and stone. You have to do betadine gargle thrice daily.

If it gets repeated, then you have to undergo Tonsillectomy for permanent solution.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajat Basak
