How To Treat Swollen Tonsils?
I am having swollen tonsils now from almost a month. I do have a history of tonsillitis but my throat has been pretty much OK from last year and a half, but I think I got this infection from a hospital visit to see a relative and since then i have been using septillin and gargles to treat this inflammation but its just not going.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having chronic tonsillitis having septic foci in your tonsillar folds giving this trouble often.
In this case it is advisable to go for tonsils removal.
Continue with warm, antiseptic gargles.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food which aggravates the condition.
Ok and take care.
