why do i have holes in tonsils

I had the same thing. The doctor called it cryptic tonsils. Food would get trapped in them causing tonsiloliths (tonsil stones) I had my tonsils removed earlier this year. I don't know why they were that way, but if it continues to bother you I would consider getting them out. I'm glad I did.
 
Yes, very bad breath. It got to the point I couldn't stand it anymore so I had them out. I had them out at the end of June 08 and I can tell my breath is much better now. Also, I've had no other problems.
 
Fate,

Thanks so much for you response.

The reason I asked is that I am scheduled to have my tonsils out at age 28. I have chronic bad breath people describe it as rotten, chessy at times.

It really hurts my confidence deep down inside that my breath is so bad because of my tonsils.

Do people now ever comment on a change of your breath? Do they notice a positive change in your breath when you speak to them.

I really need some positive encouragement because I will soon have my operation-1 and half week from now.

Thanks fate.
 
The only person that really said anything was my boyfriend. Before I had them out he said something about it to me. Basically he said he didn't want to kiss me because of my breath. That was the last straw for me so I had them out soon after. Now it doesn't bother him at all.

I've dealt with it since I was 12 and it was one of the best decisions I've made. It has helped my confidence since I don't have the smell of death coming from my mouth.

I was 24 when I got mine out. It was very painful as people say. You hear people say "Eat lots of ice cream!" Don't do it. Nothing dairy. I tried ice cream and it created extra flem causing more problems. I ate ice and pop ice (freezer pops) at first. Also kept an ice pack around my throat. Later I moved on to chicken broth with crackers soaked in it. I was off work for 2 weeks and lost about 8 pounds total. Good luck with your surgery. It will be painful but it will be totally worth it when it's all over. Let me know if you have any questions. :)
 
Thanks Fate.

I am happy you had so much success with yours.

I noticed something funny as well. My boyfriend used to love kissing but he doesnt anymore. He keeps rubbing his nose when I talk even in public. I get so embarrassed especially in public. So, I am definately going for the operation.

Thanks for the tip about dairy. I was going to order some yogurt and ice cream but I think I will order soup broth instead.

Thanks alot.
