Do tonsil stones interfere with singing?

Hello I a singer and I've began getting a lot of tonsils stones coming out. My voice hasn't been good since the tonsil stones began to appear. Is this just coincidence or are the stones causing my trouble

    Tonsil stones shouldn't be causing the trouble singing. They mean that your tonsils are doing their job, and you should only be worried if you stop getting them and your tonsils become infected.

    If your singing hasn't been very good, then a problem might be overuse, or improper technique. If your throat is hurting, try an herbal tea called "Throat Coat", it tastes horrible but works wonders. Also try Fisherman's Friend cough drops. Cutting out dairy may solve the problem too.

    Hope this helps!

    Tonsilloliths are from calcification of trapped debris within the folds of the tonsil sacs.

    Repeated bouts of tonsillitis of chronic inflammation of tonsils is usually the cause of this.

    The bacteria you are expelling through the tonsil stones will be creating soft tissue damage through swelling from bacteria.

    No one can help you here, only your Otorhinolaryngologist can advise you. In fact, some GP's are not specialised enough to help you so why would you ask on YA. Talk to your Specialist at ENT.
