How do tonsils ‘grab’ bad stuff?

Do tonsils move? I just don’t get how people can get tonsil stones. Do they like swell up when they feel bad things coming through or…? Like its so hard to find videos on this.

Tonsil stones generally form in small pockets/holes/channels in the tonsils. Food/debris/dead cells get trapped in the hole. Fungus and bacteria feed on the debris and eventually calcifies (gets rock hard – hence the name tonsil stone).
