I am a lupus patient and has just developed tonsilitis...what should i do any home remedies for now i stay miles away from the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Suggestions: For the pain try tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen assuming you're not allergic to them. Warm salt water is soothing. Try lozenges such as cepacol. Make sure to hydrate. Throat coat tea and honey can help. If there is fever for a couple days see md.
