Thanks for the update and I'm happy you got everything taken care of ((Lifeistrulyaride)). Once you're done with this infected sore, change to a new toothbrush and throw away any lipstick or chapstick type stuff - anything you used on your lips when you had the sore to avoid contaminating yourself again. Keep your cups etc separate until you heal. I'm a mom so that's why I appear the nurturing type lol. I hope things improve with the tonsil stones with the new toothpaste and mouth wash.
