What is the best method for treating tonsillitis at home?I am an eighteen year old singer about to enter college this week and I believe strongly that I have tonsillitis. The symptoms are all present, and it hurts like you wouldn't believe. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to the doctor's until at least early next week. What is the best way to relieve the pain from tonsillitis using what a normal college student might have laying around?

Gargle with chloroseptic for the throat pain.Tylenol or Advil for pain and fever. But, you really should call your doctor.

Usually plain old tonsillitis goes away in 4-7 days so hopefully its all gone before you have to head out. Gargle with warm salt water a few times a day this will help the pain. Take over the counter pain meds to help with swelling and of course pain. Get popciles, they help sooth. Also if you have honey a little in just slightly warm tea helps, or just eat the honey and of course losenges.

I would take Ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) for the pain. It has an anti-inflammatory action that should help with the swelling. Gargling with chloroseptic should help numb the pain.
