a) First basic thing that has to be done is the gargle, with 1 cup of warm water mixed with 1 teaspoon of salt. Regular gargle will lessen the pain and clean the tonsils.

b) Milk has been found valuable in tonsillitis. A glass of pure boiled milk, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder and pepper powder, should be taken every night.

c) A gargle made from fenugreek seeds is very efficacious in severe cases of tonsillitis. (Two tablespoons of fenugreek seeds should be allowed to boil for half an hour in a liter of water and let it cool.) .

d) Drinking hot fluids like, tea, coffee and soup can give soothe to the throat and keep the body warm.

e) Milk mixed with pinch of turmeric powder and pepper powder is of great help.

f) Combination of juices of beet, carrot and cucumber is also full of benefit. These juices can be taken individually too.

There are several home remedies for a swollen throat/tonsils including warm salt water gargle, honey and your favorite booze, an anti-inflammatory med or just sleep it off. However, if the condition persists, please go see your primary physician. If the condition is severe enought, he may have to refer you to an ENT (ear, nose & throat) specialist for removal. And please keep in mind that a tonsillar abcess is a life-threatening infection, so if the condition persists, causes fever or sever pain, please go see your doctor.
Go to a dr.
