Tonsil stones aren’t really an issue apart from their bad smell. Just make sure you’re eating healthily and keeping up good dental hygiene and their appearances will be rare. But the whole razor thing in your mouth? Girl please don’t do that again! You don’t need to go poking around in there. They’ll surface when they’re ready to surface and most can be coaxed out using your tongue to push against your tonsils. You’re now going to have to keep a close eye on your tonsils for signs of infection. Gargle with salt water or diluted TCP as this will prevent bacteria getting into the wound and causing more of a mess.
Tonsil stones
So It was really late night and I was watching tv and then I just feel a tonsil stone like a super tiny one come out. I had tonsillitis when I was very young but now I don’t I just had one come from inside they’re not visible unless u really stick a torch in there and flew the jaw and they’re deep in a hole in my tonsil so tonight I was curious and the cutips are downstairs and I didn’t want to wake anyone up so I used this pointy-ish but rounded plastic back of a facial razor because I’m an idiot (just to be clear the BACK of the razor not the actual razor) and I gently put it into the hole and tried to slowly pry it out but it just started bleeding... just lightly and for a moment and then freaked out brushed my teeth and gargled should I be worried ?

I get tonsils stones on a weekly basis, have not had tonsillitis in years though. For starters your fine, don’t worry. Seconds let the stones come out in their own, sometimes just drinking water can help. If you do ha e one that is causing pain or feels like the start of tonsillitis gently use a q-tip to help it make its way. Push but don’t dig. Swallow a lot cause that makes yours tonsils move and helps push it out. Side note a hard huge barely one this week- it was gross, but glad it’s out haha
Lol okay so I’ve done something similar. I used to get a ton of tonsil stones and I’d pick them out with a Bobby pin. I made my tonsils bleed with the Bobby pin once. I ended up going to urgent care and I was fine, the doctor just rolled his eyes at me and told me to stop doing that lol. Don’t do it anymore, but you’ll be okay. Also, some advice from me to you, even if you know they are there, don’t push them out. I know the feeling is very uncomfortable, but pushing them out can make the crypts of your tonsils larger which just leads to more and more stones. I eventually had to have my tonsils taken out because they were very swollen and I was constantly getting tonsillitis and a million tonsil stones.
