If you are puzzled about why you are having bad breath and a sticky feeling at the back of your throat it could be due to tonsil stones. Don’t get scared because removing tonsil stones is a fairly simple process if you know the exact steps. Unfortunately many doctors recommend a surgery straight away. However you should try some of the effective proven home remedies before you even think about surgery.
If you have not been having this problem for long, then removing tonsil stones with something as simple as a wet swab should be easily possible. Take a mirror so that you get a view of your throat. Use a torch if required. Press the stones with the wet swab and try to squeeze the stone out. Be careful not to put too much pressure.
Another simple technique for removing soft stones is to use a water pik. This device will produce water jet at a certain pressure. You can adjust the speed of water jet to low speed so that too much pressure is not applied to the tonsil crypts. Fill the water pik with warm saline water and point it to the back of your throat. Try to get the stones out with water pressure.
Hot milk with turmeric powder can be helpful in removing tonsils stones. Turmeric has anti bacterial elements that will kill bacteria and prevent bad breath. Turmeric also works well as an anti inflammatory agent. Drinking hot milk with turmeric may soften the stones so that you can cough it out.
