I've been dealing with tonsil stones for about a year now and keep finding small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove some, but the outer ones won't budge. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat. I don't have ear pain, fever, trouble swallowing, or a sore throat just a dry throat. What can I do to relieve this without surgery? I gargle with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis?

Tonsil stones can cause discomfort and bad breath. While you can try home remedies like salt water gargles and coughing to dislodge them, if they persist or cause severe symptoms, consult a doctor. If you have chronic tonsillitis, they might recommend a tonsillectomy to remove the tonsils.

my 6-month-old baby has tongue tie and I'm not sure if we should do the release surgery now or wait a bit longer is general anesthesia safe for such a small baby what are the risks both short and long term if we go ahead with the procedure
It's understandable to be concerned about tongue-tie release surgery for your 6-month-old baby. While the procedure is generally safe, especially for infants, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks with your pediatrician or a specialist like an ENT or pediatric dentist. General anesthesia is also safe for infants, but it's a factor to consider in the overall decision
