▲ 3 r/tonsilstones
Is it possible that closing the back of my throat and hacking/coughing/clearing throat to vibrate/ in order to scratch my throat is causing the tonsil skin to enlarge and making me have more and larger tonsil stones?
I'm not exactly sure what this is called, but I do it when I wake up and sometimes in the day when I feel an itch in my throat. I've been getting tonsil stones frequently and this causes them to occasionally come out. Unfortunately, when they do come out they are quite large meaning they have been in their and causing bad breath. They also seem to be getting larger over time meaning what used to get them out isn't working. Does anyone have experience on this and should I stop doing that? Regardless I'm going to get a water flosser... My dentist wasn't very helpful with prevention advice other than basic stuff online.
