Tonsilloliths (Tonsil Stones) are small, hard calcified deposits that form in the crevices (crypts) of the tonsils. They develop when food debris, dead cells, and bacteria get trapped and harden over time. Tonsil stones often cause bad breath, throat discomfort, a foreign-body sensation, or difficulty swallowing. Some may notice white or yellow lumps in the tonsils. While small stones can dislodge on their own, larger ones may require medical removal. Maintaining good oral hygiene, gargling with warm saline, and treating chronic tonsillitis can help prevent recurrence. Persistent or symptomatic cases should be evaluated by an ENT specialist for proper management.
