What kinds of things make tonsillitis worse?!


Question: What kinds of things make tonsillitis worse?
I have tonsillitis, and haven;t gone to the doctor yet, but plan to.
For the moment, all im wondering is what kinds of things should i avoid to not make this worse than it already is?
What things are good for it?

Thankyou!

Answers:

Things such as smoking, acidic drinks such as soda or orange can make tonsillitis worse. I wouldn't eat ANYTHING containing milk. You might think it would be soothing, but it will just cause a LOT of mucus at the back of your throat and you'll be constantly trying to clear it. (Ever hear someone trying to clear their throat ALL the time? ahem, ahem, ahem....). It won't help, it will make your throat WORSE.
Try Popsicles, Italian Ice, etc....there are lots of different ice-based frozen treats that you can get that will really sooth your throat.
