Tonsil stones are actually food particles that get trapped in the deep tonsillar crypts and over time putrefy and this putrid debris gets covered by tonsillar surface keratin material and salivary calcium. If this occurs frequently, you need to undergo LASER assisted Tonsillar Cryptolysis where about 2-3mm of the surface of the tonsils are vaporised by the Surgical LASER beam.
Next Steps
You are welcome to come down to Bangalore where I can do this procedure on your tonsils.
