tonsils stones are not bacterial even though they may have some bacteria around them from the throat. tonsil stones are calcified and decomposing food particles trapped in little holes in your tonsils. antibiotics never work for tonsil stones. rinsing your mouth or gargling may help though. any throat bacteria would not likely be involved with your intestinal discomfort and gas. this is an unrelated problem. tonsil stones do not cause any health issues other than bad breath and a yucky taste in your mouth sometimes.
could my tonsil stones be related to pain in my stomach? . recently i've been waking up with intestinal pain 2" above my belly button- about once every two weeks. after passing a lot of gas the discomfort goes away. i saw a dr about my tonsil stones before my stomach problem began and he put me on a strong antibiotic prescribed a mouth rinse and said if this didn't work i would need to have my tonsils removed. it didn't work. wouldn't the bacteria causing my tonsil stones be living in my intestines as well? could these problems be related?
