Gross tonsil stone question!?
So, I've been having issues with my tonsils since I was really young (why my parents didn't force me to get them removed I don't know, the doctor used to suggest it a lot). I had strep once or twice, occasionally more a year. (I'm 18 now) They've also always been swollen, to which my doctor has never been able to give me a reason for other than "some people just often get swollen tonsils".
Anyway..
The crypts in my tonsils are pretty deep, and every now and then I see tonsil stones in them. There are two right now in one of my tonsils but the crypt is too deep for me to remove it with a q-tip. I don't and won't have a water pik, or whatever those are called,
It's really bothering me. A LOT.
So my 2 questions are:
1. Will it go away naturally, if so, how long will it take?
2. Is there anything else I could try to remove it on my own? I don't have the time/money to go to an ENT.
Thanks!

In my experience the odd tonsil stone used to become dislodged and I would feel it in my throat and spit it out. But most of the time I had to manually remove them. Everyones experience will be different so there is no set time to go by before a tonsil stone dislodges itself.
I thought I had big tonsils with very visible crypts but according to my ENT surgeon my tonsil werent that big. Anyway when I was removing tonsil stones I used to use my fingers and forcibly close my throat which pushed my tonsils out and I just pressed and moved around my tonsils as much as I could bear before I got sick.
So if you have a good view of your tonsils just keep pressing and forcing them and eventually the stones will dislodge.
