Tonsil stones are small masses that lodge in the tonsils, have an unpleasant odor and are also the cause of bad breath.
The tonsils are covered with a mucosa that contains a large number of pits, and it is precisely in those pits that the remains of food and bacteria remain, which when hardened become tonsilloliths.
