Tonsil stones are risk-free buildup that will go away on their own. However, the duration of tonsil stones can vary from person to person. They may go away or melt on their own in a short period, or they can also stay for weeks if they are deep in the throat and bacteria continue to grow on them.

Digestive Issues and Bad Breath: The Connection Explained
To use apple cider vinegar for fresh breath, dilute one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. Gargle with this mixture for 30 seconds to one minute, then spit it out. Rinse your mouth with plain water afterward to remove any residual vinegar taste. Repeat this process once or twice a day for best results.
