Answers:
Keep your throat clean always. You may have throat infection or bad throat. You can purchase mouth wash and do it by gargling morning and evening. Avoid fridge water, etc. for a fortnight. Take warm water instead of cold water. Sleep in a warm room with a rug. Use sweater and muffler during this period.Health Question & Answer

Tonsils are very important in immune defense so try to keep them if you can. I've heard fresh lime with warm water is very beneficial. also, because it is usually caused by a bacteria I would suggest taking a pro-biotic - friendly bacteria that helps fight against bad bacteria. You can find pro-biotics in yogurt but most yogurts have sugar in them which feeds bad bacteria. So if I were you, I would go to a health food store and ask for pro-biotic or acidopholis. It usually comes in capsule or powder form.

Good Luck!

DO NOT TAKE ANTIBIOTICS EVER!!! They kill the good bacteria along with the bad!! Take a PROBIOTIC instead!!Health Question & Answer

First off, the tonsillitis will get worse if you don't do anything except for drinking water. You may just have a sore throat. Any way just drink liquids. Try not to drink sodas. Sprite is okay. Ibuprofen and tylenol are the best things to have. They are good until your tonsils get so big that it hurts to swallow. take your temperature. If this doesn't work you really need to go to the doctor other wise you will get sicker!!!!!! Then you will have to et your tonsils removed. Health Question & Answer

Drink water and leave it - I got used to it and now i don't even notice it's there.

I know exactly what you mean - Or i could possibly be something else in your mouth that is irriating you.

Look closely in your mouth at your tonsils. Are they damaged or cut in anyway.? That could be another cause which i have experienced.Health Question & Answer

Drink like half vinegar half water. Use apple cider vinegar not regular or it will taste bad and may not work i've never tried regular. Sip it slowly don't just down it. You dont need a big glass of it either. Be careful. Sometimes this chases the infection into your ears. Then you have to boil them out with hydrogen peroxide. Health Question & Answer

Honestly, I had the same problem when I was young.

But, now Im OK, 26.

The secret is to avoid all artificial colourings like Fanta...etc.

also, do not eat or drink ice from the fridge (especially if they weren't sealed properly). That's because all those ice got bad bacterias which cause inflammations of tonsils.

best thing is to buy hand sanitizer for every time you touch anything, wear a face mask like what they have in the hospital, set aside a glass, bowl, and utensils to eat with and let everyone know not to touch, wash or use them and you use those when you eat and keep them clean

drinking water is good. try something like tea with honey and lemon in it. Treat it like a cold. Keep clean. The tonsils are germ collectors for the body. Health Question & Answer
