A member asked:

What can i do to get rid of tonsillitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several things: Symptoms and concerns like these mandate a thorough evaluation by your doctor. Only after such an evaluation, which may include labs and radiographic examinations, can he/she let you know what's going on and how best to help you.
