White stone like material in tonsils.
White stone like material appears in my tonsils. I've noticed them 5-6 years ago only. That time they used to come in my mouth when I cough. I had no idea and this used to happen once in 4-5 months that time. But in recent days, like around 3 months, that thing is appearing again and again, say daily. And my throat also started paining. I've visited local clinic, pain and stones stops when take medicines. After week of completion of medicine it starts again. Don't know what to do. My throat hurts and feels like something is stuck in my throat around tonsils. What to do now?

Those are Tonsilloliths. They are food particles entrapped in your deep tonsillar crypts which get covered by salivary calcium forming stones! Come down to my clinic Healthcare@Basaveshwaranagar in Bengaluru and undergo LASER assisted ablation of Tonsils where about 2-3mm of the surface of the tonsils are vaporised converting the deep tonsillar crypts into wide saucers which are unable to trap and food particles!
