QUESTION OF THE WEEK Could there be stones in your tonsils too?

part from kidneys and gall Abladder, tonsils are the other organs which can be affected by stones. But tonsil stones can be cured with natural remedies if the symptoms are not severe. Read on to know more. Stones are generally associated with kidneys and gall bladder when referred to in the context of diseases and conditions. But they can affect your tonsils too, the gland-like structures at the back of your throat that protect you against the viruses and bacteria that cross your throat. However, very few people know about tonsil stones though they affect many. In this condition, also known as tonsilloliths, debris and bacteria build up in the crypts (crevices, tunnels, and pits) of your tonsils. They harden or calcify with time and turn into stones. The debris can be white or yellow in colour. Though these stones are difficult to be identified at times, they are characterized by noticeable 5G TECHNOLOGY TO BRING A symptoms like bad breath, sore throat, trouble swallowing, ear pain, persistent cough and swollen tonsils.
