Answers:
Get some Nystatin and gargle with it!. It is the one thing that works!. Salt water rinsing also helps and is somewhat anti-bacterial, but a bit unpleasant, and it burns but is harmless - it just knocks out the bacteria and settles the tonsils down!.
You may also take teaspoonfuls of Benadryl as an anti-inflammatory - that will save you looking through 30 other brand names!.
If you have tonsil food particles or tonsilloliths, poke them out and remove that source of irritation!.
Finally do not leave sugar or sweet drinks in your mouth!. It feeds bacteria and they multiply!.
So brush teeth often and gargle!. As a very last resort, you can buy & wear a mouth opening appliance (actually for anti-snoring) at night, to keep the tissue aerated and healthy, not stagnant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
