Will The Tonsil Stone And Irritation In The Back Of The Throat Go Away?
I am female, age 31, 64 inches tall, 145lbs. Im relatively healthy aside from a few allergies and difficulty becoming pregnant (pcos). I have been having recurring issues with tonsil stones, and irritation in the back of my throat. What will happen if I dont have my tonsils removed? Will this ever go away on its own?

Its probably tonsillar debris which you are referring to... it's a sign of chronic tonsillitis...unlikely to go off unless tonsils are removed... could try chlorjexidine gargles for a month to see if there is any improvement .. if not consider tonsillectomy after assessment by an Ent specialist..take care
