Tonsil stones (they\u2019re called tonsilloliths, but Lily just calls them \u201cthe stinky bits\u201d) happen when food scraps, bacteria, and thick mucus get stuck in the tiny pockets on your tonsils. Over time, that gunk hardens into little \u201cstones\u201d that smell like sulfur. But not every mouthwash works\u2014Lily tried a cheap minty one first, and it did nothing. Turns out, you need a mouthwash that targets the gunk\u00a0<em>hiding<\/em>\u00a0in your tonsils, not just the front of your mouth.
