Any dentists or doctors or anyone really have experience with tonsil stones or cysts ?

Hi just wondering if anyone has similar experiences or advice.
I did go to a walk in doctor and in the 3 seconds she looked in my throat she said it was “probably a tonsil stone” I’ve had this for going on a month now I have no symptoms other then I noticed this morning a small red patch by the big white spot that sort of looks like blood that won’t rinse off(not in picture)
I’ve been gargling and tried to push it with a q tip but it dosent move. I thought maybe cyst but looking at pictures online it looks more like a tonsil stone. It’s sort of above my tonsil and 2 small spots on the other side same spot as well. I have another appointment at the end of the month but Just looking for advice because I’m of course thinking the worst I hate health anxiety!

I have these, if you use your finger or an ear bud and gently press next to it, it should come out x

I get these too. It's a tonsil stone that is under the skin and if you prod them enough you can get them out. Probablt not advised at all but I find a cocktail stick very effective . Leaves you with a bit of a sore throat after though!

Thank you guys so much for the replies!!
So you think both sides definitely tonsil stones? I’m sorry I’ve just been worried about it google makes you think the worst and of course they look so easy to come out online but these guys just won’t maybe because there on a weird spot I’m assuming that’s still my tonsil though.

Grab it with tweezers and pull!

Thanks guys! Still no luck I’m hoping maybe it just needs more time to go away. I am relieved you think it’s tonsil stones. Have they ever just gone away on their own for you guys?

Hello, it's been years I know. But what was it? I have something similar 😭😅
