Tonsilitis
This type of inflammatory inconvenience cannot really be considered as an illness. It is a symptom of another physiological problem. In most cases a sore throat is due to a virus. Such cases are quite frequent in children because their only defense is their tonsils.
HOW IT FEELS
When you have been exposed to cold, when the roof of your mouth is ticklish, your throat irritated, with or without white dots, and you have trouble swallowing, you definitely have a throat infection.
MY ADVICE
Depending on the evolution of the illness and your throat's condition Homeopathy recommends the following remedies:
If you have just been exposed to cold and feel feverish and jittery, take Aconit 6C, because these symptoms may indicate the beginning of a throat infection.
If you definitely have this aliment, you are plagued by general fatigue with aches and pains all over, your throat is dark red and you can barely swallow. Take Phytolacca 6C.
The Kali Chlor Complex L.41 is efficient against the following symptoms: red and dry throat, difficulty in swallowing, fatigue, fever, and heavy perspiring.
If you have a pinkish throat and swollen lining that makes swallowing difficult and a swollen uvula with stinging pain, your symptoms may be calmed by taking L.43 Hydrargi Complex.
The L.39 Mercurius Complex is recommended against tonsilitis involving a brilliantly red throat with small white dots, a thickened and sensitive tongue, bad breath, and constant thirst.
If there is any risk of abscess or suppuration, 15 granules of Sulfur 6C should be taken once a day.
Most of these remedies should be taken 3 to 6 times a day, 10 drops at a time, diluted in water.
