Tonsillitis: It would be worthwhile to know the reason you are having pain with your tonsillitis. More than likely youhave a viral infection in which case you can gargle with saltwater, mouthwash, peroxide or other solutions. As a last resort you can ask your doctor for liquid Lidocaine for pain relief.

Consult your Doctor: Consult your doctor as you may have strep throat and may need antibiotics you need examination and quick strep test and depending on that may need antibiotics.

See a doctor.: Tonsillar infections can be very serious, and you must be evaluated immediately. Delay may cause significant complications that may even be permanent. See someone today.
