Is there a cure for tonsil stones or just surgery?

My doctor said I had tonsil stones but she said it’s no big deal, etc. While I think a tonsillectomy would be worse than the original ailment, I would like the problem to clear up. Any helpful suggestions?
Note to Dr. Knowitall:
Are you referring to over-the-counter nose drops/nasal sprays, or prescripiton meds? What are the names of these meds?

Tonsil Stones don’t do any physical harm, and sporadically coughing them up doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong. However, they can be annoying and sometimes they are an indication that you have bad breath. Normally, Normally one does not do much for them, except gargle with hydrogen peroxide. A simple combination of drugs and nasal drops can effectively eliminate tonsil stones without unnecessary tonsil surgery. Plus, occasional use of a nasal spray helps neutralise the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria on contact.
YES these are the general options available over the counter but you should get advice by your family doctor first or an ent coz i cant check your throat from the internet. getting them removed is only a temporary method and they can always grow back. if you are working then you will have to take a week off from your office which will not be pleasing to your boss.
