What is the best home remedy or otc medicine to relieve extreme tonsil swelling and pain?ok, every time i get sick my tonsils get very painful and swollen. it usually only lasts 2-3 days. its now been about 8 days and i can barely swallow water it hurts so bad.

Suck on ice chips, wrap an ice pack in a towel and place it up around your tonsil area, stick your head in the freezer and inhale the cold air for a couple of minutes. Anything cool temperature-wise that you can do directly or indirectly will help with the pain and swelling.

how many times a day do take your antibiotics?
you should go and see a doctor. the bacteria that caused the swelling might be resistant to the amoxicillin that's why it's not working. a doctor can prescribed you witn a more stronger drug.
amoxicillin is usually taken 3 times a day for 7 days.500mg.
lower doses and missing the time your supposed to take an antibiotic will make the bacteria drug resistant. eventually you'll need a stronger drug which will cost more and have more side effects.
I highly recommend you see a doctor
