Can drinking lost of water, herbal drinks and honey help my left tonsil if it has a bit of white patches and a little sore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but mildly: Hydration can help your body fight an infection as it tries to recover. White patches on the tonsil is typically tonsillitis or a tonsil infection. Hydration, good sleep, hand washing pain control are essential parts of trying to get better quickly. If there is no progress, then visiting a doctor and possible antibiotics would be the next step.
