Besides the salt water
Answers: HI Aligator
Here are some ideas to heal the issue.
Cause
Tonsillitis is caused either by Streptococcal bacteria or, less commonly, by viral infections. For safety sake, throat cultures are necessary to rule out strep throat and family members may also need to be tested, as they may be carriers and need to be treated along with the infected individual.
Note: The tonsils are an integral part of the lymphatic system and they play an important role in adrenal function, and should therefore be preserved.
