Tonsil Stones ICD-10-CM Codes

These codes should be used when a patient presents with symptoms suggestive of tonsil stones or when tonsil stones are discovered during a routine exam or other medical procedure.

Common treatments include at-home remedies such as gargling with warm salt water, manual removal, antibiotics, and, in severe cases, surgical removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy).

A diagnosis code for tonsil stones signifies that the patient has been diagnosed with this condition. The specific code provides more detail about the nature of the condition, such as whether it is chronic or acute.
