I wish I could buy pimple popping tools but for my tonsils.

O.o

Chronic tonsil stones, feels like a perpetual popcorn hull stuck in my throat

All my sympathy. I used to get those

HOCKEY SEASON : did you get your tonsils removed or did the stones go away?

Nope, they took the tonsils... I was... 21?

I should get mine out. But it’s hard now that I’m in my 30s

Yeah, when I was 21 I got a new PCP and went "I get strep 4-5 a winter" and she looked at me horrified and said "AND YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?!" So... those got yeeted out within a month.

I only got diagnosed with stones in like 2018

...... so that is actually a thing and I have them and they are... not great but it gets the job done.

I will try to find where I got them and send you a link when I get home if you want it.

Omg that would be fab!

Also.... I didn’t know you could get diagnosed with those??? Like I just know I have them cause they’re annoying as hell.

It was the first time I’d ever been diagnosed with tonsillitis, spent about a month on different antibiotics before my doc was like, okay those are stones. Couldn’t afford the tonsil removal at the time so still got em

Huh. Mine are super tiny and rub the back of my tongue when they start poking out. I’m not sure if what I use will work as well on larger ones, but you’ll be the best judge of that. Also, fair warning, if you have a gag reflex they will almost certainly trigger it.

Oh yeah, I trigger it with the tiny paintbrush handle I use currently but it doesn’t get the best angles sometimes.

Thank god I got the really bad one to come out for now

Here's what I've got

Thank you! I got the blue kit.
