I don't know anything about tonsil stones, but tonsils can regrow. Perhaps yours have.

Have you tried a water nasal spray like Sterimar to alleviate discomfort? I’ve had recent throat issues (not tonsils though) & this product has helped.

Have you had your tonsils removed now? It’s just you mention having swollen tonsils in previous post?

I can say that mine have been removed but I can still get sore throats. I have had them last longer and feel worse than when I had tonsils. But it is painful further down and I now think it’s probably thyroid. Don’t know if that helps?

I have had tonsil stones ever since I started on Erfa NDT, and the dry throat feeling that you describe. My throat only feels bad when I first wake up (not mouth breathing) and diminishes during the day. A tonsil stone appears every 2-3 days. Will ask private Doctor within the next two weeks.

Crysatalynn,

If you have Hashi, could it not be a Hashi attack you are experiencing? You have mentioned this pain together with ear and neck pain in previous posts?

Lymph nodes can become inflamed & sore with Hashi affecting this whole area. Are you gluten free?

Not what you're looking for?
