Did I damage my tonsil removing a tonsil stone?

I was sick a few months back and saw a big gross tonsil stone, so my brilliant self decide to remove it with the pointed side of a disposable flosser ( basically a plastic toothpick).

Now, every few weeks or so I see a massive stone in the same place, and I remove it again and again because I'm afraid it will give me chronic bad breath if I leave it.

I fear I may have made a crater in my tonsil which allows this monstrosity to keep forming.

every time theres about 3 stones (I think, its possible Im breaking apart one big one) in this pocket in my tonsil, each about the size of an apple seed, maybe a little smaller.

So what should I do about this?

    Know the asteroid wellhead tonsil stones them for many years and it's been title not eventually.

    Best decision I've ever made! I was shocked by the way of getting out the stones out. It was so easy, but more importantly, painless. I really liked the little trick he had for preventing gag reflex. He have one happy customer here.

    well i wouldn't be worrying about having a breath experience i would be worried about medical conditions that may have caused this if there is one i would suggest to see a dr for it cause it could even be a food issue so the next best thing is to see a doctor

    You are worried about bad breath???? You should be worried about potentially fatal infections. Go to the doctor.
