10:07 am

rururocks

tonsil stones? never heard of that

10:07 am

hokie carla

I used to call them sinus balls until I found out they were a thing called tonsil stones.

10:08 am

hokie carla

little white balls that form in your tonsils and smell horrible. usually I can hock them out or use a straw or something to poke it out, but one got so big I had to go to ENT to get removed.

10:08 am

rururocks

there's a joke there with sinus balls, but i'm just going to let it go

10:11 am

hokie carla

ps - also called tonsilloliths

10:11 am
