Coughing
Cough is a reflex that is natural to the body. Its main function is to keep the airways clear. Sometimes, the throat is covered with mucus or foreign irritants, which can irritate the throat.
The common cause of coughing is the clearing of the throat. Although there are cases in which the cough is due to viral infections and bacteria. Some people find it an annoying reflex because coughing may cause pain in the abdomen and throat. But the action and reflex are beneficial in removing tonsil stones.
Experts believe coughing helps the tonsil stones to dislodge, especially if they are not seated well where they developed. The vibration of the cough can help the dislodging into the throat. It can help the tonsil stones work and find their way out of the throat. Some people do a forceful cough to remove the stones in the tonsils. It may hurt initially, but the dislodging will eventually ease the pain.
