Millions Of People Are Suffering From Tonsil Stones Every Year

The body can do some incredible and sometimes unusual things. Sometimes, it may do things in the background that most people don’t recognize and even though it can affect millions of people, they don’t get talked about frequently.

That has really changed, thanks to social media because people are now sharing photos and videos of all kinds of unusual health problems. This includes a problem that can occur with the tonsils, but it was never discussed very frequently.

Have you ever heard of tonsil stones? If you have seen a video on the subject, then you might be surprised to learn that they are relatively common. These videos are not only there to show us that tonsil stones exist, they also show us how to remove them and at times, they get up close and personal.

Despite the fact that tonsil stones are relatively common, most people are not very familiar with them. According to the Mayo Clinic, they are hard white or yellow areas that can take place in the tonsils. They are not harmful or painful and usually can be treated naturally at home.

Tonsil stones typically occur because of material and debris that gets trapped in the tonsillar crypts. Calcium, food, and even bacteria can contribute to the formation of the stones.

When the stones occur, they can cause a person to have bad breath, earaches, and coughing. Typically, they don’t cause any symptoms.

It is estimated that some 3 million people in the United States suffer from tonsil stones every year. If you have them, you can typically remove them easily using some saltwater to gargle and a cotton swab to dislodge them.

Even coughing hard can sometimes loosen the stone and cause it to dislodge.
