In this article, we have decided to share with you some effective tips to eliminate them once and for all.
- Using cotton swabs
You will need cotton swabs, water, a flashlight and a toothbrush.
– Stand in front of a mirror, open your mouth and shine a light towards your throat.
Stick your tongue out and say “Ahhh!” This should help push the tonsils forward so you can see them better.
– Put a little water on the cotton swab to make it softer.
– Press on the tonsil stone until it is dislocated and then gently remove it with the cotton.
– Be careful because bleeding may occur. If it does happen, you should minimize it, wounds can become infected with bacteria.
Rinse your mouth with water to make sure you have gotten rid of all the tonsil stones.
You can also use oral irrigators such as water picks, they would help push your tonsil stones out of their sockets.
Place it in your mouth and light it without touching the stone. Then direct the water jet towards the visible stones and hold it until they come out of their cavity.
3- Gargle
You can use mouthwash after eating because tonsil stones form when food gets stuck in the holes.
However, you can use a mixture of warm water and salt, it tends to soothe the discomfort caused by the tonsil. Mix a teaspoon of salt in a glass of water, stir it all together, tilt your head up, and then start gargling.
