Tonsil stones

Mental health

Ok I have had bad allergies and I felt like there was something stuck on the right side of my throat and I stuck my finger back there and this hard stuff came out...this has never happened before so of course I'm freaking out thinking I have throat cancer...I did Google and says its tonsil stones but still freaking out...anyone have this before

 Does not sound like throat cancer 

 do you still have your tonsils? Many times debris can get caught  in the tonsils like food, mucus etc. overtime it hardens that’s why they call them stones. Not dangerous.

not sure if that’s what you have. Ask your doctor. You’ll be fine.🙂

Yes! My daughter had these went to the doctor. You are fine. Do not worry this happens to people it is harmless. Hope you can now put your mind at ease. Scared us too, but your fine.

Hey,

I get them all of the time they are completely harmless they're just a bit of a nuisance when you can feel them.

Don't worry

Is there a way to prevent them...and now I wont even smoke cause I'm so affraid

7

Well they come & go for me but just make sure that you brush your teeth/use mouthwash and have overall good mouth hygiene. I'm not sure if there is a way to completely prevent them...

And don't be afraid, they're completely harmless .

In my experience, it can be sore in that area if they are big.

I'm dealing with swollen tonsils for 3 weeks now, and also getting small stones too, along with a bunch of other symptoms that are freaking me out.
