Gargling
Gargling is a method used to remove debris and other microorganisms and matter found in the mouth. It creates a guttural sound to clear the mouth and throat using disinfectants. In addition, it creates an osmosis effect wherein the concentration or solution draws some fluids from the mouth and throat tissues to ease pain from inflammation.
Gargling can submerge the cells and draw liquid, along with the harmful viruses and bacteria found in the throat, to the surface. In addition, it relieves the throat from scratch and soreness, which is part of the symptoms of tonsils stones.
When the tonsil stones are severe, it causes irritable cough, sore throat, and difficulty swallowing. This may indicate that the stones grew larger than the common size and are now irritating the esophageal tract.
Another effect is the assistance of gargling in dislodging tonsil stones. Studies show that vigorous gargling can help the throat feel better, eliminate the bad breath, and prevent food debris from getting caught in the tonsil crypts to avoid the accumulation of bacteria.
