How do I remove a bunch of tonsil stones on the very back of my tongue?

They’ve been there for weeks, and now they’re starting to impede my swallowing. I can’t stand having them there, but my gag reflex keeps me from just scraping them out. Is there any way I can remove them without seeing the doc? That seems like an arduous process…

I’ve had tonsils stones for a few months now. I’m having my tonsils removed this summer for them, so you might want to see an ENT doctor. But anyway, here are a few ways I get them out:
-You can numb your throat using one of those sore throat sprays, this helps to prevent gagging when you try to get them out.
-Try gargling with salt water or a Listerine type mouth wash, this can help to break them lose.
-I think the easiest way to get them out is by using a water pik. Use one with an adjustable water pressure, so you don’t hurt yourself.
Hope this helps you!
you need to see a dr to find out why you are so prone to having tonsil stones
