Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain Tonsil stones or Tonsilloliths are formed when debris gets accumulated over the tonsils which gets calcified and bad breath is one of the hallmark feature associated with tonsil stones and tonsil stones are commonly seen in patients who have repeated bouts of tonsillitis..
Many a times tonsil stones do not require any treatment but if there are associated with symptoms like bad breath and other problems like sore throat ,swallowing difficulty Surgical removal of tonsil stones by an ENT Surgeon is done along with it antibiotics and painkillers are also given to prevent infection and pain and ease the discomfort..
In case if the problem is recurrent Tonsillectomy is the ultimate treatment..
As of now to prevent bad breath do chlorhexidine gargles 2 to 3 times a day and better consult an ENT expert soon..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
