Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had tonsil stones like a month ago and now when i swallow i can feel something in the back of my throat and i brushed my teeth tonight after brushing my tongue i spat and it was light brown. I have bad allergies and live with a dog could this have something to do with it?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Tonsil stone needs surgical removal for cure. There is no medicine available for tonsil stone. So tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) is the only option. And yes, for you staying with dog can be harmful. So better to avoid dog exposure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
