Have Tonsil Stones After Having A Sinus Cold. Feeling Pain, Discomfort Around Mouth. Any Suggestion?
Thanks for writing your query ,
According to your clinical history i suspect you have injured the oral mucosa near glossopharnygeal region. Injury has lead to formation of ulceration in the area.
I would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or betadine which will give soothing effect and will help in faster healing of ulcers.
Apply oral antiseptic ,analgesic ointments like dentogel or mucogel topically over the affected area.
To prevent infection in the area start with the course of antibiotic Augmentin 625mg along with analgesics like aceclofenac two times daily for 3 to 5 days .
For tonsil stones , you need to get the examination done consulting an ENT specialist which will help in ruling out the exact cause and treatment accordingly.
I hope this information helps you ,
Take care.

Yes of course you can easily get these antiseptic,analgesic oral ointments in the local pharmacy.
You just need symptomatic treatment to cure the ulcer in the glossopharyngeal region .
Continue with the lukewarm saline gargles and topical application of oral medication for about 5 to 7 days regularly.
Ulcers may take a little longer to heal but if the symptoms do not subside within 7 to 10 days, please get the examination done by a dentist.
Take care.
