You should see the doctor, you may have tonsillitis, but it requires a throat culture to diagnose positively. Some types of tonsillitis require antibiotics to get rid of it. Eat cooler foods, like jello and puddings, and eating popsicles can help with the swelling. Tylenol may help with the pain. But you should definitely see the doctor…..
well, always we hear it, take warm drinks. for me when i feel alike i take hot cub of lemon with 2 spoons honey. and stay in bed. it relieves me a lot. i would repeat it like 2 -3 times a day.
their are some herbal products that is very good, like a hot cub of pepperiment papers. sweetened to taste. actually this cub soothes me a lot.
do u have stomach ulcer or something?
for ur neck, the tonsil is a node in the ‘lymphatic system,which is responsible for fighting infections’. the tonsils are connected to other lymphatic organs through lymphatic veins, ahappensppenes that some of these veins passes through your neck. so its normal to be swollen.
hope u wil be better soon, take care
Gargle with warm salty water several times per day.
You should go to a dr. and get antibiotics. The infection will probably go away without them, BUT it will take longer and you will feel like crap.
If no antibiotics, then lots of rest, lots of fluids, keep painkiller in your system, and do the salt water gargle 6-7 times a day.
drink some HOT chocolate, it’ll burn, but it’ll get all that mucus off. you could also eat crackers, but don’t chew them all the way.
Gargle with Apple Cider vinegar, natural, That helps the pain. So does real warm salt water. You may have Strep throat or tonsillitis, so a trip to the doctor would probably be in order.
