Is there something like rice in your throat?

If there are rice-like objects in the throat, it is likely caused by tonsil stones. The stones in the throat may be due to the accumulation of food residues and necrotic cells in the tonsils. These aggregates form granular objects after calcification. Generally, some of these things will fall off naturally, while others will rot and produce an unpleasant odor. If there are no other symptoms in the body, it is generally a normal phenomenon.

How are tonsil stones formed?

A small group of bacteria usually accumulates in the postnasal mucus in the tonsillar crypts behind the tongue. Simple brushing and gargling cannot effectively remove these bacteria. If the bacteria stay in the crypts for a long time, insoluble inorganic salts such as calcium and magnesium will be deposited in the tonsillar crypts, thus forming stones.

Three types of people are most likely to suffer from tonsil stones

1. People who do not pay attention to oral hygiene

2. People who like to smoke and drink

3. People suffering from chronic tonsillitis

After suffering from tonsil stones, most doctors will help remove them with tweezers. Some people will fall off on their own, but most will recur, so curing tonsillitis is the key.

One prescription for a complete cure - Tangerine and Gardenia Tea

Preparation method: 8g of tangerine peel, 5g each of gardenia, licorice, monk fruit and puffed sea, boil in water for 30 minutes and drink the tea. (It is recommended to use dried and crushed materials. The effect of taking them one by one is not that good.) There is no limit on the number of times you can drink it. You can also use the finished bag of tangerine gardenia tea, one bag at a time. If you drink it continuously, most patients will recover in 7 days.

Tangerine peel and gardenia tea is often used to treat hoarseness caused by lung heat, sore throat, heat-stagnation constipation, and excessive use of the voice.

In addition to the above methods, three points should be noted

1. Quit smoking

Smoking can cause the epithelium in the tonsil crypts to necrotize and fall off, forming tonsil stones. Quitting smoking can prevent epithelial necrosis and shedding in the tonsil crypts, thereby preventing tonsil stones.

2. Maintain oral hygiene

Develop the habit of brushing your teeth every morning and evening, and rinse your mouth with alcohol-free mouthwash twice a day to help rinse out oral debris and bacteria, thereby effectively preventing tonsil stones.

3. Drink more water

Drinking plenty of water will allow water to flow through your tonsils continuously. The constant flushing of water can effectively flush away the debris in your tonsils and prevent the debris from calcifying in your tonsils.
