Massive tonsil stone - need ideas
Post Body

So I literally just switched jobs earlier this week so going to the doctor isn't an option yet.

I've got a massive tonsil stone deep in a crypt of one of my tonsils. Deep in there. I can see it with a flashlight and mirror but I'm having trouble reaching it. Also it grows back within hours of me getting any of it out. The chunks I'm knocking out vary between being the size of half a dime and taking up most of a penny.

In the last week I have tried:

Irrigating it - minor success, mostly just makes the tonsil feel better Scooping it with a kit -some success Gargling multiple times a day - nothing

I've actually done all three of them daily for the last few days.

The tonsil it's in is massive, clearly red and possibly inflamed. When I manage to knock some of it the stone out, there's a visible change in size and it goes back to a nice pinkish color.

The tonsil it's in is also sitting on top of my gag reflex which is causing some access issues. I normally gargle with numbing throat spray before going into it.

My throat is killing me. It's hard to swallow sometimes. My breath smells like a cat crawled into my mouth, died, was buried in pet cemetery, came back, had zombie kittens and died again. I'm so desperate.
