Are you tired with the annoyed throat; bad breath and coughing experienced from tonsil stones or tonsilloliths? Is your doctor advising you that surgery is the only resort to cure tonsil stones? What your doctor may not tell you is, if you go for surgery to get rid of your tonsils the stones will be gone but embarrassing bad breath won't.
The great news is there are many natural ways for tonsillolith removal so they never come back.
Read on to find out more.
1.
Gargling with a mouthwash called Alkalol, a saline and alkaline solution that contains a mixture of camphor, eucalyptol, menthol and thymol combined with the oils of spearmint, pine, cinnamon and wintergreen is known to be very effective in removing tonsil stones.
2.
Brushing your teeth after each meal is one of the most effective tonsillolith removal methods.
You will need a mirror to locate the stones first and then subsequently remove them gently with the help of toothbrush.
A tongue scrapper can also be used for the said purpose.
3.
Drinking lots of water is also an effective way for tonsillolith removal.
It aids to keep your mouth soggy and reduces bad odor, as it can prevent the likelihood of bacteria formation.
4.
For the time being, keep a control over your diet by avoiding dairy products.
The presence of these products can cause calcium and mucus in the mouth which may cause the rapid growth of the tonsilloliths.
You should also keep away from caffeine, alcohol and carbonated beverages, if you want to eliminate tonsil stones.
5.
Coughing, flexing or sneezing your throat are another effective ways for tonsillolith removal.
When you sneeze or flex the throat a little pressure is applied in the tonsillar crypts which may force the stone to pop out.
Be warned- they will probably emit an extremely unpleasant odor.
