My throat.

I’ve had a sore throat for a couple of weeks and it feels like there’s something stuck right up at the top left hand side of my throat/roof of my mouth.

When I google it says tonsil stones?

How can I get rid of these?!!

Go to the doctor.

Can you see something there? Tonsil stones look like little yellow chunks (sorry!)
If your gag reflex is okay, you should be able to poke them out (GENTLY!) with a cotton bud.

Gargle with warm salt water 3 or 4 times a day. I put about a teaspoon of salt in a small amount of boiled water to dissolve then add cold water to make it lukewarm. Gargle with it 3 or 4 times.Rinse your mouth afterwards with plain water and spit it out so that you don’t wash the salty water off your tonsils if you know what I mean
I had that too and gargled and it did get rid of them. Hope that helps
