Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Loratadine is useful if you have cold or rhinitis or along with tonsillitis you may develop Eustachian tube block so it may relieve the congestion and block.
If you above symptoms take otherwise no need.
Take care.
