A member asked:
I have gastritis and oesophigitis and swollen lingual tonsils. need a uk anti inflammatory for tonsils. any advice please?

Gargle: Start with a warm salt water gargle. That will reduce swelling and clear mucus off of the tonsils. If that doesn't provide enough relief then it is reasonable take paracetamol for a couple of days for pain relief (but it doesn't reduce inflammation).
