Preventing Tonsil Stones

The major way of preventing Tonsil stones is by increasing the consumption of water in the body. This is due to the fact that an increased consumption of water effectively hydrates the throat and therefore ensures that tonsil stones cannot be formed. Tonic water and soda in particular are known to eliminate Tonsil stones.

On noticing symptoms it is actually not necessary to treat tonsil stones as the correction is quite simple. It is only in the case of embedded tonsil stones that removal may be slightly difficult. Sometimes simple hygienic conditions such as proper tooth brushing can remove tonsil stones on the surface.

The tonsil stones can also be gotten rid of using small instruments like tweezers to scrape them off. Another way to Prevent Tonsil Stones is by regularly gargling with salt water and doing some  exercises such as flexing the throat whilst lifting the tongue against the mouth’s roof and swallowing.

Of course the most effective way of treating tonsil stones if manifested in a serious state is by tonsillectomy which basically involves the removal of the tonsils. This should ideally be considered only in the absence of no other options although it is risky for older people.
