A member asked:
I'm wondering how to cure chronic tonsillitis at 65 years of age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics/surgery: Chronic tonsillitis means persistent infection lasting 3 or more months. Extended antibiotics including Clindamycin may be helpful, but surgery is often the only solution.
