Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat
Hi, Yesterday morning I woke up with a severe headache and sore throat. Since this morning, my headache has gone away but my throat is in the same condition if not worse. I have extreme pain while swallowing and my tonsils are almost completely covered in pus. I suspect I have tonsillitis. I was just wondering if you knew of any home remedies to help me cure this faster?

hi,
you can take a pain killer like tylenol afetr checking the dose.
do warm salt water gargling 4 times daily .
drink plenty of fluids and avoid air conditioning.
if you do not feel better then see a doctor because you may need an antibiotic.
