This can be caused by the buildup of debris that breeds bacteria in the
little spaces around the tonsils, called crypts. The buildup is
called a tonsil stone or tonsillolith. They give off a smell of
rotten eggs because they are made up of sulfurproducing bacteria and
other material.
These are hard to get rid of, but there are some home remedies that
help and tons of places on the net that sell products for this
problem. I do not have personal experience with these products,
so I will not provide links to them. I refer you to the
dictionary for an explanation of the cause, and suggest that you see
your dentist, PCP, or ENT for a full evaluation and recommemded
treatment:
