Symptoms Of Tonsil Stones - Are You Having Tonsil Stones, Or Just Food Debris That's All?
Tonsil stones (also called tonsilloliths) are commonly misdiagnosed all
over the world. If you're experiencing sore throat and white bumps
dislodging from back of your throat occasionally, these are most
probably the symptoms of tonsil stones.
However, some doctors will tell their patience that "It's just your own imagination, your mouth is good, they're just your extra food debris!", but if your doctor says that to you, then I'd say CHANGE YOUR DOCTOR! I can be 99% sure that these doctors don't even know what's the problem hence they just give you lame excuses. Don't trust them!
