I too get tonsil stones... often, but today I had something that upset me a bit more. I had white spots covering the majority of my tonsils and rash all over my body... My doctor prescribed an antibiotic... but so far it's just getting worse. The itching is unbearable, and making it hard to sleep...
Do you think it really is tonsillitis? This is the third time I've had "tonsillitis" and it's never been this bad, and I've never had a rash with it... Should I be worried about anything other than the sleep deprivation?

Having been sick with cancer for about four years now, as soon as my oncologist saw the "tonsil stone" he wanted an immediate biopsy. He said the majority are benign problems but since I am a former smoker he wants to make sure it is NOT cancer there. The otolaryngologist says it's nothing to worry about....says many peeps get them, but they just dig them out. Call me lazy, but he's taking that bad boy outta there.
