Tonsillitis?!
Question:
Tonsillitis?
i know its tonsillitis but i havent been to a doctor to get antibiotics.
does anyone know any at home remedies?
Answers:
No home remedies unless you can make antibiotics in your kitchen. If your tonsillitis has been caused by a virus, you won't need antibiotics. It'll run its course in a week or two. If it's bacterial....well....that has the potential to get ugly with complications and only a systemic antibiotic will kill the bacteria causing it.
But if you're determined to tough it out, treat your symptoms. But see your doctor if your sore throat lasts longer than 48 hrs., if it worsens or if you develop other symptoms. If you should start drooling, develop dyspnea (difficulty breathing) or find you are uable to eat and drink, get yourself to an ER.
