Hey J, what you need is plenty of nourishment and rest. If you find swallowing so painful that eating is difficult, try serving liquids and soft foods, like nutritious soups, milkshakes, smoothies, popsicles, or ice cream.

Make sure that you drink lots of fluids and gets plenty of rest. Use a nonprescription pain reliever, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, for throat pain.

All forms of tonsillitis are contagious. Tonsillitis usually spreads from person to person by contact with the throat or nasal fluids of someone who is already infected. Be sure to keep your drinking glasses and eating utensils separate, and wash them in hot, soapy water. All family members should wash their hands frequently. After a bout of tonsillitis that's caused by the strep bacteria, throw out your toothbrush and replace it with a new one.

Hope this is helpful. Get better soon!

Hey Jules, Happy New Year.

Sorry to hear you are sick. I have had tonsillitis too many times. I usually use Chloraseptic Throat Spray (tastes nasty, but works), tea with honey, sherbert and lots of fluids.

Also use Tylenol, or Advil (I switch between them so my body doesn't get used to one over the other)
Get rest.

Take care, so hello to your mom & dad,

Tom
