Mahoosive tonsil stone

[FTHC]

I could see a sneaky one so did my usual with a cotton bud, but then I spotted the edge of one underneath the foldy/flappy bird had a bit of a prod and a cough and out came this bad boy 😳

Surely they can't get bigger than that?

The tiny dot of one is the first one.

I once had one like this, it was amazing.

I was bent over for ages to pick something up that had fallen under my chair and I felt something drop in my mouth.

Spat a massive one out.

Well done you x

Holy cow. That is potentially record breaking.

I’ve got 8 stuck on my tonsils. I can’t do cotton bud thing.

I’m jealous.

That is impressive. Was it sore? Did it stink? Was there notable relief once it was out? So many questions.

I've only ever managed to get one out before. I had a horrendous sore throat and thought it was tonsillitis. Then I read up on tonsil stones, had a prod around and extracted a great one. Felt better immediately. It was tiny compared to this beast but still very satisfying.

You can buy a suction tool to remove them if that would be better for you 🤣

Bet that smells like death 😂

Ive had a sore throat but nothing really bad, now it's just sore from pressing if 😫
I didn't dare squish this one to see how much it stank 🤮

I didn't dare smell that 🤮
I can usually taste when I have them iyswim but this one was well hidden away

Does everyone get these?? I never knew about them until I joined mumsnet!

you jammy bastard 😍

I didn't know about them either until dd had them at around 8. I had no idea what it was. And the smell...🤮

Thank goodness I'm of an age where they whipped your tonsils out at age 4.

Impressive!

That's a beauty!

I used to get these. And I got colds all the bloody time. I once had a green snotty cold and woke up the next morning and peeled a layer of hardened snot from the back of my tongue, inside my mouth and it went right back to my tonsils. Peeled it out of my nose and I could feel it peeling off in the back of my throat.

I just remembered that, thank you OP.

Omg.

I can't help but check. I mean, I know it will. It always does. Yet somehow I feel obliged to crush it and check

Saw the top of the pic at first with just the little one and thought "pah" then scrolled down and saw THE BEHEMOTH

Congratulations on cooking up such a beauty, I'm dead jealous

There really seems to be no product to kill the smell of these gruesome little bits of rotting food. So glad I had my tonsils out 30 yrs ago.

I had them in my teens I removed them with my fingernails, never that big though
