Anyone want to know what a tonsillolith looks like? *nasty* >>

For all you people that are like 'OMG TEH GROSS!!!!", guess what- you've probably had them before too, but just swallowed them without noticing.

That's sick. Don't they give you bad breath if they smell so bad? Can you feel them back there, or do you just cough them up? Is this mostly for people who smoke?

Yes. Yes, both. No.

It actually has nothing to do with food. It is bacteria though; working on your mucous. If you pay attention, you'll find that you get them the most often when you have post-nasal drip going on.

I'm glad I had my tonsils removed. . . .

I'd much rather have my tonsills and deal with a few tonsill stones then not have my tonsills.

Do they come in handy for you?

Well, seeing as I never get sick, I guess they are doing their job.

my bro had his taken out when he was liek 5, and he never gits sick, EVER, I have mine and i get strep every year, they work against me

Before I had mine removed I got strep throat like clockwork. At least once a year in October-ish, then sometimes again in Jan/Feb. Had it so bad once it turned into Scarlet Fever. That was loads of fun.

Ever since I had them removed, I have never had a sickness involving my throat/nasal type of stuff. Pain in the butt recovering from the tonsilectomy however guess in the long run it was worth it.
