Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, are small, smelly balls that form in the pockets of your tonsils due to trapped food particles, dead cells, mucus, saliva, and bacteria. They are loaded with anaerobic bacteria that produce sulfur compounds, causing bad breath. Prevention includes maintaining good oral hygiene, staying hydrated, and managing allergies. In severe cases, a tonsillectomy may be necessary.
