There really wasn't much pain associated with them but they eventually started appearing in my mouth as well as my tonsils. I would sometimes even cough them up. At this point, I thought I better go to the doctor.

After quite a lot of poking and prodding, the doctor prescribed me some antibiotics and asked me to come back in when I had finished taking them.

Ten days later, I had finished the antibiotics but the tonsil stones were still present. So, my doctor prescribed more antibiotics, this time a different kind. But, after taking antibiotics twice, the tonsil stones were unphased and still in my throat. I just hoped they would go away on their own.

Eventually, I became convinced these stones were just food that was stuck in my throat. I would get a long Q-tip or even a chopstick and attempt to dislodge what was there but I was unable to remove them with these methods.

I went back into my Doctor and he referred me to an ear, nose, and throat specialist.

As soon as he looked in my mouth he said, "looks like you have tonsil stones."

"Tonsil what?" I replied. I had never heard of such a thing.

The specialist told me they were quite common and went on to describe the process by which the tonsil stones form. Food particles were being trapped in the tiny crevasses on my tonsils. Over time the food would rot and cause bacteria in my throat, hence the foul smell and bad breath.

Then he told me the only solution to getting rid of tonsil stones was to undergo surgery and have my tonsils removed!

I had never had surgery before in my life and was very nervous so I did what any normal person does – I "googled" it on the Internet.

I did some research and found out the average recovery time for an adult having a tonsillectomy was at least 3 weeks, sometimes even longer. I could not afford to miss work for 3 weeks!
