Reviewed: Dr. Mera
4. Characteristics
Tonsil stones are white or yellow concretions that can weigh from 0.3 grams to 42 grams. Usually, they are small, soft, and rubbery calculi. However, they may not always be visible.
Because of their location and characteristics, they can be confused with other conditions that affect the tonsils. However, unlike other inflammatory conditions that affect the tonsils, tonsil stones are usually painless, and they are not associated with any systemic symptoms.
