salt for tonsils
suggested by Data on Thursday, May 22, 2008

| Alright, I tried all the remedies posted. Pretty good results. Lemon was great. But they were all a good relief... only for after a little while to be back in pain. But I decided to take a Q-tip and apply salt directly on my tonsils. Within a matter of minutes most of the pain was gone and the pussy things went down and were not emitting any pus like they were. It was great. Just put salt directly on the tonsil with a q-tip. GREAT! |

| At the first sign of swollen tonsils, Put one teaspoon of cider vinegar into a cup of hot water and mix with one spoonful of honey and drink regularly as you can. Also gargle with cider vinegar and warm water before bed. It might smell and taste a bit vile at first but it's a wonderful remedy and I swear by it... |
