Have been suffering from Tonsillitis for the past few days. I have been searching over the net for effective home remedies and have tried out many things. Some of these remedies worked wonders! I thought I will share those with you.
Tonsils are tissue masses that are visible to the back of your throat on both sides. The acute inflammation of the tonsils are called tonsillitis. The first and most common symptoms that a common man can identify about tonsils is painful swallowing. It is painful to swallow ones own saliva even! A sudden sore throat or a throat infection that worsens over time can also indicate tonsillitis. Other common symptoms include hoarseness or loss of voice, reddening or swelling of the tonsils with or without pus and fever.
Tonsillitis is mainly caused by viruses, the most common being the common cold virus. In some cases this can be due to bacterial infection also.
One of the most effective cure for tonsillitis is using lime. Mix a teaspoon of lime with half a teaspoon of salt and apply it to the back of the throat using your fingers. This works wonders for tonsillitis and also for a sore throat!
If you cannot do this well, i.e, putting your fingers into your mouth to smear the lime around your throat ( I just cannot do this properly) here is an easier but less effective way of getting lime to your throat. In a glass of warm water, squeeze in the juice from half a lime. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 4 teaspoons of honey. Mix well and sip this slowly. This is very soothing and helps reduce the annoying pain during swallowing. Gargling with salt and lime also helps reduce tonsillitis.
When there is a throat infection, the key is to eat warm/hot food and drink a lot of warm/hot water.
