There is no specific prescription medication to dissolve tonsil stones, but you can easily remove and prevent them using basic products. First, gargle vigorously with warm salt water or an alcohol-free mouthwash to help loosen them. To physically remove visible stones, you can gently dislodge them using a clean, damp cotton swab or a water flosser on its lowest, gentlest pressure setting. Never use sharp objects like toothpicks or bobby pins, as they can cause injury and infection. Brushing your teeth and tongue twice daily also prevents recurrence. If they are painful or difficult to remove, please see an ENT specialist.
