Answers:
If you get a visible exudate on your tonsils you may be right it may be recurrent tonsillitis, rather than just sore throats!. In this case I would suggest you should see your GP for a 10 day course of penicillin V, assuming you have no allergies!. Other than ensuring you have a balanced diet always including your 5 a day, there is nothing you can do to boost your immune system!. 2 episodes may be bad luck, or a failure of a single episode to resolve fully, however as an adult, if you keep getting similar episodes you might eventually become a candidate for tonsillectomy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could well be that you are run down following giving birth ( congratulations by the way!) but, if it does keep recurring, then it might be an idea to speak to your G!.P and ask about having your tonsils removed!. Its not such a common procedure these days, but if it does keep coming back and is as bad as you say, then its better to get rid!. My sister-in-law had hers removed just recently, and she's nearly 40!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

gargle warm salt water!. that will get rid of the pus bags in your throat!. you can just add a little bit of table salt to a warm glass of water!.

as for comfort, try sipping on warm unsweetened tea!.

then, as soon as your able to, you need to get into a doctor!. sounds like its time to get those puppies taken out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need antibiotics!. Tonsillitis will not go away without them!. If you cant see your doctor then go to a quick care clinic!.

Your immune system will perk itself back up as soon as the tonsillitis gets treated and it doesnt have to constantly try to fight that off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
