now. penicillin never works for tonsil stones. the problem is that your tonsils have holes/crypts in them that trap food and other debris. gargling after every meal will limit the accumulation of debris or you can take a moistened q-tip (or your finger) and physicallyl dislodge them. they will come back again however. the only definitive cure is to remove the tonsils if you and your ent can convince the insurance company that this is medically-necessary.
