According to my doctor, it depends on the size. He said tiny ones don't really matter and you wont even realize you did inhale it. Sometimes, though, when you have ones the size of peas, you can feel it go down. Some may get stuck ad you'll have to chug down water. He said usually they go down easily, but he's had a few cases where they get stuck. I really think that's rare for them to get stuck, but he said he'd have to dig them out of the persons throat (basically surgery) and pull it out. Nothing serious and I feel like it's very strange for people to have their tonsil stones stuck. So don't worry, no big deal. Just kind of disgusting.

Is using listerine mouthwash helpful with tonsil stones?
No way, in fact for me i found that Listerine was actually causing tonsil stone. I had been using Listerine for the better part of 10 years and always would get tonsil stone. It was disgusting, about once a month i would have to go in and clean my tonsils. Listerine had become such a part of my oral hygiene i did not even think of questioning as it causing my tonsil stones. I did extensive research online to see if i could somehow stop these disgusting things from forming. I found nothing that worked. During my research i luckily found in some random forum 1 person posting how they stopped getting tonsil stones after they stopped using Listerine. I decided to give this a shot and stopped using Listerine for a few months and i noticed that tonsil stones were not forming. Its been over 2 years now since i stopped using Listerine and have not formed any tonsil stones since and could not be happier. I'm not saying this will be the answer for everyone but for ME this can't just be a coincidence, without a doubt i believe that the Listerine was causing my tonsil stones.
