What should I do if there are many tonsil stones that cannot be removed?

Under normal circumstances, if tonsil stones are difficult to remove, patients can go to the hospital and follow a doctor's advice to use methods such as curettage, suction extraction, or tonsillectomy. Specific details are as follows:

1. Curettage (stripping and removal)

If the tonsil stones are small in size and few in number, doctors may recommend using instruments such as curettes, tweezers, or forceps to dislodge and remove the stones from the tonsils.

2. Suction extraction

An electronic laryngoscope is used for examination, and the built-in suction device within the scope helps extract the tonsil stones. This method successfully removes tonsil stones in most patients.

3. Tonsillectomy

This approach may be adopted when the above methods fail or when there is severe tonsillar inflammation. Surgical techniques include tonsillar dissection, guillotine tonsillectomy, and currently more commonly, low-temperature plasma ablation. Adequate rest after surgery is important for recovery. A follow-up visit at the hospital is recommended about two weeks post-operation. If bleeding occurs during the recovery period, immediate medical attention is required.

When the body experiences problems that cannot be resolved independently, patients should promptly visit the hospital for diagnosis and treatment to avoid delays in managing the condition.
