Has anyone ever heard of a tonsil stone?

"Tonsil Stones are irregularly shaped, whitish/yellow, foul-smelling globs of mucous and bacteria that get caught in the back of the throat. They form in the tonsil crypts which are simply small pockets or divots that appear in everyones tonsils. The scientific name for these white globs is tonsilloliths."

Never heard of it.  Call some of the Doctors/Hospitals that would be used and ask them about it.

First, tonsils are not pulled, they are cut out.  Teeth are pulled.\n\nTonsils can be enlarged to the point where they obstruct your airway.  You may have tiredness during the day from waking up hundreds of times during the night (obstructive sleep apnea).  Tonsils can also become repeatedly infected.  You would recognize this by a recurrent sore throat.\n\nTonsils are easy to see.  Your doctor does not have to guess.  He can just look at them.

Taking out your tonsils usually doesn't take too long.  It takes about 30 minutes.  It takes longer for the anesthesia to wear off then for the tonsills to come out.  The tonsils directly don't have anything to do with your weight however when they are big people tend to eat less.  So when they are removed they do eat more and can gain weight.  As long as you stick to what you are doing right now your weight shouldn't change.  Finally the surgery does hurt.  It's like haveing the worst sore throat however new techniques have been developed that can decrease this pain.  There is a procedure called cobelation (using a coblator) that in some cases produces virtually no pain.  The risks with this procedure are the same as any other procedure to remove the tonsil but the pain is alot less.  Anyways, you should get your tonsils removed especially if you snore or have apneic episoids when you sleep (pauses in your breathing).

Sorry, never heard of this.  I can think of a similar one but the spelling or pronounciation aren't even close.  If you find out the correct spelling for sure, let me know and if it is a medication, I will be able to help you.

My tonsils had to be removed because they were always infected.\n\nI was in the second grade. I brought them to show and tell. I remember I was very sore and couldn't speak and it really hurt to swallow. I ate lots of vanilla pudding and I got a lot of presents, including a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles watch. Mom said when I opened that present it was the first time she had seen me smile since the surgery.

They're tonsil turds.  ;)  It's food that has gotten caught in your throat and begins to get rotten.  I don't have tonsils and have never had this problem, but I've heard about them on the radio.  I don't recall a remedy.

It is possible that chronic problems in the thyroid/tonsils can lead to cancer later in life.  It isn't definate and I don't know if there are any statistical numbers out there to give you a percentage chance of this happening.

Yeah, I heard about it a couple months ago. It sounds great and I wish it had been around when my kids were a little younger. Probably would have saved a doctors visit or two, as well as some stress.

Once when I worked in the ER, I saw a doctor staple a mans face onto his head, it had been lying on his chest and only attached by the chin. It was bizarre.\n\nAlso, when I was playing in a Rock band at a show, there were this troup of body piercers who suspended themselvs from a giant mobile hanging from hooks in thier back, they swung around in giant circles over the crowd as we played. Pretty intense stuff.
