Question

I'm dealing with some loose motions right now, and I'm really worried because I have a competition tomorrow. Is there any way to fix this in just one day?

Possible Diagnosis*

  1. Tonsillolith (Tonsil Stone): A small, harmless deposit of calcium and debris that can form on the surface of the tonsils.
  2. Mucous Cyst: A small, benign growth that can occur on the mucous membranes in the throat.
  3. Follicular Hyperplasia: An overgrowth of lymphoid tissue in the throat, which can cause small, painless bumps.

Treatment Advice

  1. Gargling with Salt Water: Mix 14 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle several times a day to help reduce inflammation and flush out debris.
  2. Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth regularly, and use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria and debris from the surface of your tongue.
  3. Staying Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help keep your throat moist and reduce the risk of tonsil stones.
