When dealing with many of the somewhat embarrassing illnesses, most people prefer home treatment.
Tonsil stones are no exception.
For a long time now ways and methods have been looked into to solve this problem using simple but effective home remedy solutions.
I am happy to say that we've come a long way and these solutions are now readily available.
Tonsils stones are whitish or yellowish accretions that tend to form on the back portion of throat, on the tonsils themselves.
Most people don't like the idea of having to go for surgery and would prefer simpler solutions if they are available.
The leading cause of tonsil stones can be traced back to poor oral hygiene.
So a home treatment of tonsil stones must cover this area well so that you know what to avoid.
One way of trying to dislodge these stones is coat a toothbrush with a substance that the stones will stick to.
Then as you slowly and carefully brush over your tonsils the stones will be dislodged and be picked up by the tooth brush.
If a toothbrush is too uncomfortable for you then you could use cotton swabs and squeeze on the tonsils until the stones fall off.
These are just two of the ways on home treatment of tonsil stones.
Since your aim is to avoid surgery you can get the doctor to give you some medicine droppers.
This will breakdown the stones and also dislodges them from the tonsils.
In most cases tonsil stones tend to fall of on their own before we even notice they are there.
When it comes to methods of home treatment, tonsil stones are one of the most researched on conditions.
As such the ways that they can now be dealt with are many and numerous.
Feel free to acquaint yourself with most of these techniques and see how they can be of use to you.
