I suffer from tonsil stones quite frequently. Recently it has been very painful. Typically they are located in my palatine tonsils and i can poke them out. For the last month my throat has been very sore on the right side when i swollow. This does not feel like a strep throat pain but more like a tonsil stone pain, but behind my tongue. Can you get tonsil stones in your lingual tonsils and how do you remove them as i cannot see the root of the cause? Any advice is appreciated. I made a drs appointment last friday and they literally found nothing wrong which is horribly discouraging what with the pain ive been dealing with!
