Detailed Answer:
Medicine is not for tonsillitis problem. Medicines are suggested only for the whooping cough due to seasonal changes. If you think there is inflammation of throat then you may continue the Belladona 30 and baryta carb 30 as earlier prescribed doses.
You may observed following symptom in tonsillitis
1 Redness and inflammation in throat
2 Difficulty to speech, drink and eat
3 tonsil are swollen (You may check your throat in mirror)
4 Pain in throat and some time mild fever is noticed
In case of throat infection continue the medicine for 1 month atleast.

Brief Answer:
treatment revised

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I am revising medicine this time. No need to take Ammonium Carb presribed in earlier query. Instead of that take Hyocymus 6 prefferably and if not avilable take Hyocymus 30.
If you get Hyocymus 6 then take 3 drops on the tongue twice in day. If you get 30 potency then take 6 pills twice in a day.
Rest of the medicine will be same as prescribed.

Thanks
