Has anyone heard of tonsilliths?

Question: I had one today. It's food debris and stuff that get lodged in your tonsils. Is there anyway to see your tonsils and clean them with a waterpik or something at home?

Answers:
Tonsil stones. Unfortunately, they tend to be fairly common. Apparently, you can simply scrape the offending material out with minimal problem, but you might want to see a doctor about having your tonsils removed.

The second link below offers some possible remedies that are less drastic.
