TONSIL STONES? please help.?!
Question: TONSIL STONES? please help.?
when I turned 17 i started to smoke meth, all day everyday. within about 4 months of smoking meth my tonsils enlarged about three times what they were before I did meth, and the holes in my tonsils started to instantly FILL UP with white junk as soon as i hit the bowl. [i know its disgusting, but i was ****** up all the time so ):] ... but anyways, now that im clean, stuff does not grow in my tonsils, but i do have the occasional tonsil stone from food or whatever...
but my tonsils never went back down in size,
so i guess my question is,
has this happened to anyone else ; doubt it lol....
& after you get your tonsils removed, is there anywhere else in your throat for food to get caught in, as it does in the tonsil crypts? like your adenoids? or any other little holes or crypts for stuff to get stuck in?

Wow! Is that you on the avatar? You look too good for a meth addict... lol!
I don't know, how is it for meth addicts, out there, I'm fortunately not one of them.
But I've reduced my tonsil, by gargling with Salvia Officinalis plant, which is also called Sage in English. It didn't go permanently away, but it turned half the size it was. If you have patience you could try it. But you need to gargle about 4 to 5 times a day, for at least two days, with hot water glass, in which beforehand you put a teaspoon of dried Sage leaves. after you waited for the water stop being so hot, so you could bare it in your throat(still needs to be hot enough, though).
Oh, and by the way, watch out don't smoke it!
you got large tonsil crevasses and you may either remove it or keep gargling after eating. since you're an adult you may remove it because they have no role anymore.
ps:NO
Funny how you can see the wear and tear in the face of a meth addict, i can already see it happening to you. Hope you stop and stay stopped, you will age yourself long before your time!
Drinking plenty of water along with gargling mouthwash will often stop the formation of tonsil stones.
Treatment, if required, is usually removal of concretions by curettage; larger lesions may require local excision although these treatments may not help the bad breath issues that are often associated with this condition.
One option is to decrease the surface area (crypts, crevices, etc.) of the tonsils via laser resurfacing. The procedure is called laser cryptolysis. It can be performed using a local anesthetic. A scanned carbon dioxide laser selectively vaporizes and smooths the surface of the tonsils. This technique flattens the edges of the crypts and crevices that collect the debris, preventing trapped material from forming stones.
The most drastic method, a tonsillectomy, is permanently effective but should only be considered when less aggressive options fail or are not desired/tolerable.
