I've been dealing with persistent bad breath for years and I've found out the reason for it is hidden deep tonsil stones. I sometimes cough out stones, I also try to flush out stones from my tonsils with a curved syringe and I clear out tiny stones which later improved my breath a little. But, I am stuck. I can't get these stones out anymore. No matter what I do, it stays stuck inside and causes me chronic bad breath. When I touch my crypts, it smells awful and a white liquid comes out when I press it which also has this awful smell. Eventually I had enough of this and visited an ENT and told him about my problems. He examined my tonsils, didn't see any stones visible from the outside and said I don't have tonsil stones, there's nothing to treat and many people live with bad breath and basically to deal with it. I know the recovery can be painful for tonsillectomy but I am ready for it. I really want the surgery done. Should I consult another doctor and push for surgery ? It affects me
