Tonsil stones, tonsils. The tonsils (palatine tonsils) are a pair of soft tissue masses located at the rear of the throat (pharynx). Each tonsil is composed of tissue similar to lymph nodes, covered by pink mucosa (like on the adjacent mouth lining). Running through the mucosa of each tonsil are pits, called crypts.
Besides causing bad breath, tonsil stones also cause the unpleasant sensation of having a foreign object lodged in the back of the throat. The symptoms include a metallic taste, throat closing or tightening, coughing fits, and choking. tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure in which the tonsils are completely removed. A tonsillotomy is when an incision is made into the tonsils or a portion of the tonsils are removed surgically. Laser resurfacing, also known as laser tonsillotomy or laser tonsillectomy is a long term treatment option.
