i am looking for any home remedies for tonsilitis.. at this moment i cannot even swallow water without it hurting:mad: :mad: tomorrow evening is the earliest i will get into docs and its killing.. so please everyone help me :D

oh no! I've still not found a cure I'm afraid, I just wanted to reply so you knew I was thinking of you! I get tonsillitis very regularly because I have a low immune system, I've not found anything very helpful yet, but drinking lots and lots of redoxon can help ease it, also hot lemon juice, and drinking a redoxon and a panadol (not dissolved into the same glass) the redoxon actually helps solve the problem of the tonisillitis whilst the panadol relieves the pain (supposedly!)

I hope this helps! Hope you feel better soon,
take care,

Lottie

Try gargling with soluable aspirin. A nurse recommended that to me when I was a student & it does help ease things.

I found that gargling with TCP is one of the best things to help ease the throat, it doesn't taste all that bad but your other half will notice.

Cough remedies have now been proven not to work don't waste your money.

Pharmacies now recommend gargling with soluble aspirin.

Simple linctus will coat the throat and may give some relief.

If you can use aspirin it will probably be the best thing.


If you have any sort of ulcers keep away from sugary things, it just makes them sting and stay around longer.

All the best, its not nice being poogey.

Sage is very soothing for a sore throat.

Honey (but pasteurised if you're b/feeding) or chocolate, both coat the throat rather nicely!

i had this few weeks back.and could not get to see my dr at all

so i had ice cream all time just let it melt and it was bliss as took pain away.and gargled with warm salty water 3 times a day.

did try every throat sweet and spray but did not work

affter 2 days i was ok to swallow
