The formation of cases or caseum in the crypts of the tonsils is very common, mainly in adulthood. Caeses are yellow or white, smelly balls that form in the tonsils due to the accumulation of food debris, saliva and cells in the mouth, which can easily come out through coughing or sneezing.
A good way to eliminate the hair and reduce its formation is through gargling with saline solutions or mouthwashes, which should not contain alcohol in the composition, as this substance increases the dryness and dehydration in the oral mucosa, increasing the peeling of cells and, consequently, increasing the formation of lingual coating and chase.
As an alternative to these solutions, natural solutions can be prepared at home with ingredients with antiseptic properties, which help to prevent the formation of chase, not only because they contain these substances, but also due to the swirling effect achieved by gargling.
