Try these simple natural remedies to soothe your throat and decrease pain– 

  • Add salt in a glass of warm water and do gargles 3 times a day. This is very beneficial especially when done before sleeping in the night.
  • Milk has a soothing effect on the tonsillitis. Add ¼ tsp turmeric powder and a pinch of salt to hot milk and drink twice daily, every morning and night.
  • Make an herbal tea using ginger, mint leaves, tea leaves, holy basil, pepper and honey. Drinking just an ounce of this tea will help to soothe your tonsillitis.
  • Drinking hot vegetable soups or chicken broths would also help to soothe your throat.
  • Avoid sour, spicy, oily/fried foods, cold water/cold foods, carbonated drinks, alcohol or cigarette as they further tend to irritate the throat. Instead have hot vegetable soup or broths to soothe your throat.
