I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Unfortunately, there are loads of nooks and crannies for bacteria, germs, and debris to hide in, and that's how you get tonsil stones. When the bacteria and debris builds up, it forms tonsil stones in the crevices. The calcified stones can grow and multiply.

Post-nasal drip often leads to a sore, irritated throat. Although there is usually no infection, the tonsils and other tissues in the throat may swell.

The occurance of tonsillitis is usually sudden and there are no pre-defined symptoms for it. Once you are infected with tonsils, you may feel sore or scratchy throat, pain and difficulty in swallowing. In case of acute tonsils, symptoms lasts for 2 to 4 days. In few patients, however, symptoms may last for 2 weeks. Another type is recurrent tonsillitis that comes several times a year in a patient.

Compared to children, tonsillitis is less serious in adults. However, there are certain risk factors involving tonsillitis in adults. Age is one of the major factors. People over 65 years of age are more prone towards severeal infections that could be serious at times. If tonsils are still occuring even if you are an adult, it is definitely a concerning situation. Also asults who spend more time with children like parents, grandparents and teachers are more vulnerable to tonsillitis.
