If you have tonsil stones, they may reoccur regularly if you choose not to have your tonsils surgically removed. While there are a few preventative steps you can take to keep them from returning, surgical intervention will likely be necessary at some point in the future.
Will tonsil stones ever go away?
Tonsil stones may dislodge or dissolve on their own in a short time. Tonsil stones may last for weeks if bacteria continue to grow on the tonsils due to tonsil stones deep in the throat. If tonsil stones are ignored and left in place without lifestyle changes, they may last for years.
How do you keep tonsil stones from coming back?
- practicing good oral hygiene, including cleaning the bacteria off the back of your tongue when you brush your teeth.
- stopping smoking.
- gargling with salt water.
- drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated.
