you cannot just request a tonsillectomy and have it done. it is really your insurance company that calls the shots anymore but your ent specialist would be the one who would need to justify the surgery. unfortunately tonsils stones alone may not meet the criteria for a tonsillectomy so the ent may need to be your advocate to see if it can be approved. there is nothing over the counter or non-surgical that would "cure" this disorder. gargling after each meal would limit the accumulation of debris that is getting trapped in your tonsils.
i have extremely pitted tonsils and i get tonsil stones every day. its taking a toll on my life. can i get them removed? . every day i have to take out these small to huge tonsil stones. water tastes bad now and i'm nervous that my breath is bad. 2 weeks ago i woke up with bleeding tonsils. urgent care said i had to wait for it to heal and wouldn't take my tonsils out unless i was getting infections. doctors have said that i have the worst tonsils they have ever seen but that i just need to drink more water or brush more. i have listened to everything but its getting worse. is there anybody else that can help me?
