Renee B asked:
Hi, I have HORRIBLE breath that will not go away. My ENT says that I have tonsil stones and that removing my tonsils will cure this embarrasing problem. Has anyone had this surgery for the same reason? If so, did it cure there bad breath?
TONSIL STONES OR TONSILLOLITHS are white, present in some tonsils. These cause bad breath. The bad breath can be improved with gargles-especially chlorhexidine or hydrogen per oxide. If the smell persists-go for surgery.
