Suggest Treatment To Cure Tonsil Stones

I live in Northern BC and need to see an ENT about a problem with the back of my throat. I keep getting tonsil stones, and I constantly feel like I need to swallow. I am over salivating and swallowing causing me to burp far more than I ever would. Will removing my tonsils be a solution?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Recurrent tonsil stones, throat infections and bumps can be tackled by 3 weeks course of an antibiotic, antiinflammatory and antioxidants.
If this helps, great. Get investigations of blood,urine CT scan done find out any primary focus of inflection and treat it.
If all the medical measures fail then the ultimate answer is obviously tonsillectomy.
I find this answer helpful
