Tonsil stones

2016-12-08 10:07:59
Almost every 2-3 days some stones come out of my mouth. I read about it on Google it says it is tonsil stones. It is very irritating and feels like something is stuck in my throat. Can you please suggest me what to do? Is it harmful? Today I observed some hole in my tonsils as well, as if these stones have made space. I would also mention that I smoke cigarettes. Can you help me this?
