A member asked:
Can you stop tonsiltitis at home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If its not due to strep, usual symptomatic treatments work fine to soothe the throat until the immune system is done fighting it off. If strep is involved, there will be persistent pain and fever without cold symptoms. If these are present and last more than 2-3, days, its best to see your doctor.
