Tonsillitis is an infection of your tonsils, two

masses of tissue at the back of your throat.

----------------------------------
So what are the cures for an infected tonsil?
---------------------------------
1. Drinking plenty of warm liquids
Drinking warm liquids, including soups,
broths, and teas, can help soothe a sore
throat.
2. Eating cold foods
Eat smooth foods, such as flavored
gelatins, ice cream, and applesauce.

3. Avoiding hard foods

For people with tonsillitis, eating hard or
sharp foods can be uncomfortable and
even painful.
Hard foods may scratch the throat,
leading to further irritation
and inflammation. 
4. Gargling with warm salt water
Gargling with salt water may temporarily
soothe pain or tickling in the back of the
throat.

5. Increasing indoor humidity

People with tonsillitis may benefit from
using a cool mist humidifier. These
devices release moisture back into the
air, helping alleviate throat discomfort.
6. Avoiding straining the voice
If speaking is painful, a person should
try to rest the voice as much as
possible. 

. Getting plenty of rest

People with tonsillitis should get as
much rest as possible. Resting will allow
the body to fight off the viral or bacterial
infection.
8. Over-the-counter pain relievers
OTC analgesics can help relieve a sore
throat, fever, and other painful
symptoms of tonsillitis.

9. Suck on lozenges or other

medications to numb your throat.
Some throat lozenges contain
anesthetic medications to numb and
soothe the throat. Many also contain
anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce
swelling and inflammation.
One of the benefits of throat lozenges is
that they deliver pain relief directly to the
site of inflammation.

10. Throat sprays and gargles

Throat sprays and gargles are another
way to deliver anesthetic, anti-
inflammatory, and antiseptic
medications directly to the throat.
