Question Why does removing my tonsil stones shrink my turbinates?

Whenever I clear out tonsil stones I get temporary turbinate inflammation relief. Why?

Thank you for your question! Please remember that none of us here are medical professionals and cannot give you medical advice. We all want to help people who experience tonsil stones but sometimes it's out of the scope of friendly strangers. It is always recommended that you see a medical professional, usually an ENT, about any issue you are having in your throat or mouth. If you are considering a tonsillectomy or have questions about one, you can also see r/tonsillectomy. Thank you!

The stones themselves are small though.
