After years of battling and figuring out what's wrong, I just thought it's good to share my journey here.

My previous update from a different sub: (Read for context)

https://www.reddit.com/r/LPR/s/dXQCQj82kS

And even before the surgery, I already also tried to get rid of my bottom wisdom teeth (left and right) when I was still trying to figure out what is causing the taste and smell even though I have excellent oral hygiene.

I am 2 months post-op tonsillectomy surgery, fully healed and I can honestly say I no longer do any of those maintenance stuff that I do just to make my mouth clean and fresh.

Years of terrible quality of life finally solved just because I tried my best to figure out what's wrong. I hope all the best for the rest of you and I just want to share this in case some of you have similar experiences as me.

I know maraming hospitals and doctors naman yung accredited dito sa Bicol pero just curious ano po yung experience ninyo using Philcare?

I am currently in Mythical Glory 70+ stars and I play solo queue, what I noticed most of the time is I get allies who are Legend, worse I got was 2 Legend V players which was made possible because apparently if you are a mythic player, you can invite your Legend pals and have moontoon decide to bundle those trios with mythical glory players which is so frickin unfair.

How is this not being brought up with the devs? There should be a rule that if players are not playing 5 man, there shouldn't be any huge rank gaps between them. This is honestly ruining the gaming experience and I am close to deleting this game already if not for my main which I love to play a lot. And usually when I get allies like this, I immediately check the enemies' ranks just to see if moontoon's algo ever even considers that we have 2 LEGEND PLAYERS ON MY TEAM, THE SYSTEM SHOULD AT LEAST FIND SOMETHING SIMILAR TO GIVE AS OUR ENEMIES, RIGHT? RIGHT?

WRONG. Usually I check and my enemies are all mythical honor/glories which is fvcked up and what's worse is they're trio as well but with very high ranks.

Is there any devs here? Please upvote this so they can see and finally fix the dark system once and for all.

Hey guys, so this is just to share with you an update from my post which are related with a misdiagnosis of LPR.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tonsilstones/comments/1kzy8jm/4_months_of_disgusting_taste_misdiagnosis_and/

TL;DR for the above is that basically the disgusting taste I've been experiencing was not caused by the constant mucus in my throat but rather because of tonsil stones.

So here's an update, months went by and I did not experience that horrible taste anymore but I still experienced the constant mucus, I thought okay even though I have these mucus constantly dripping it's better than having that horrible taste, but after a few months that horrible taste came back and I discovered these disgusting stones came back again.

I had to buy waterpik and syringe just to flush my tonsils constantly literally on a daily basis just to avoid it but still didn't help much, over time the occurence of tonsil stones became more and more frequent. I thought maybe it's because of the constant mucus, mucus goes to my tonsils, it forms these calcified stones and the cycle repeats over and over again. I also tried a Netipot to cleanup my sinuses because why not, like maybe I need to clean it up to get rid of the constant post nasal drip. It still didn't help much. I was in desperate mode like I don't know what to do anymore. Imagine a life where I had to always flush my tonsils everytime I eat even just a small snack, that's how tough the quality of my life had become.

Finally I had the courage to get my tonsils out and underwent a surgery and finally got rid of these shitty tonsils last April 28. I'm now almost 3 weeks post-op and get this, THE CONSTANT MUCUS IS GONE. LIKE ZERO, NADA, NOTHING NO MORE!

I was dumbfounded like I thought the mucus was causing the tonsil issues, but apparently it was my tonsils that were the culprit all along? I have a theory now that there's probably a chronic infection going on within my tonsils for years that was causing my throat to probably get inflamed, and the mucus being produced is just my body reacting along with the inflammation.

I am just sharing this for people who tried so many things already, maybe there are people who has similar case like mine. Now I'm way more confident with my breath, the constant mucus is gone 100%, I feel like I can breathe way much better, I no longer snore a lot (my wife confirmed this that I still snore sometimes but it's no longer very very loud and aggressive), and finally I no longer have to deal with flushing my tonsils constantly.

This is such a freakin' game changer I feel like I am reborn again lol. Just a warning btw for those considering Tonsillectomy procedure, recovery was tough but I will gladly do it over again just to get rid of all of my problems.

I’ve been dealing with tonsillitis for years and it got worse recently to the point where I just went all in and cut out sweets completely. No chocolate, no coffee, nothing. On top of that, I had really bad tonsil stones. I ended up buying a bunch of syringes just to irrigate them every day. It helped, but it never fully got rid of the problem.

It honestly started affecting my quality of life. Having to clean your mouth after every meal or snack gets exhausting. It was frustrating and, at times, pretty depressing.

I’m now on day 8 after a tonsillectomy. It still hurts a lot when I eat or drink, but it’s getting better. I can finally talk normally again.

If you’re dealing with constant infections or even just tonsil stones, go see a doctor. Even if it’s “just stones,” they can seriously mess with your daily life. Some doctors don’t push for surgery unless you’re getting tonsillitis multiple times a year. But honestly, even tonsil stones alone can be bad enough to justify it if it’s already affecting your daily life.

In my case, I did have multiple infections in 2024, but none in 2025 after cutting sugar completely. I didn’t mention that part because I didn’t want the surgeon to hesitate.

Now all my syringes and my three waterpiks are basically useless for that purpose. I’ll probably still use them for flossing, but that whole phase of constantly dealing with tonsil stones is finally over. Honestly, it feels like a huge weight off.

This is an update to my previous post here. https://www.reddit.com/r/tonsilstones/s/wnsyrmiXki

I am now on day 3 post op and honestly it’s painful but I know this is only temporary. So my advice to others here, just do it. I can’t wait to be fully recovered.

My operation was 8am and it’s now 5.30 pm here, I’m hungry as hell but my doctor said to not eat anything yet. I have IV tho but man it’s not enough i need food. 😭
