An oral health report
A patient flossed once every day, brushes their teeth once in the morning and once before bed
They had their tonsils removed 10 years prior but they’ve both regrown to about ladybug size
The patient has noticed a small white dot (a tonsil stone) on one of the regrown tonsils
The patient has hay fever (outdoor allergies, allergic to local trees, grass, flowers, etc)
They are having sinus issues and pain when swallowing because of post nasal drainage, they noticed that the small tonsil stone is slowly coming more prominent
The question
Could their hay fever contribute to the development of her tonsil stone?
