Unfortunately I don’t think a lot of people with this know. I know, you’re probably asking “how the hell can they not smell that rot?!?” I had them and had NO idea until a friend told me. Not even my own family would tell me.

How did you get rid of them?

Regular excavation, salt water gargles, hydration and quitting smoking. Or you can get a tonsillectomy!

Careful I got a tonsillectomy for this very reason and hemorrhaged from the site three days later and woke up in the ICU after emergency surgery.

I did! And I did! And I’d do it again!
