Probably there is no such person who at least once did not have tonsillitis and did not feel all the manifestations of the disease: a runny nose, cough and many other unpleasant symptoms. In this case, people often suffer from the disease on their feet, and this can lead to serious complications.
It should be noted that under the acute form of tonsillitis implied to all familiar angina, which manifests itself aggravated initial stage. The patient may have a high fever, a headache, chills, a feeling of weakness and inflammation of the throat, and lymph nodes may increase greatly. In children, the acute form of the disease is often accompanied by abdominal pain and emetic urge.
Therefore, if the first symptoms of the disease were detected, it is important to seek qualified medical assistance. This is due to the fact that certain forms of tonsillitis are cured only by antibiotics under the constant supervision of doctors. If, for good reasons, treatment in a medical facility is impossible, then it is important to consider the main points of the fight against tonsillitis in home conditions.

Treatment of angina with the help of folk remedies is difficult to imagine without herbal infusions and rinses.

Opinion of doctors about folk methods
Very often, doctors engaged in official medicine are categorically against the use of folk methods of dealing with chronic tonsillitis in the home. Although in reality, doctors often prescribe a number of home events with the use of traditional medicine as an auxiliary medicine.
The main thing that almost all doctors usually focus on is the treatment of chronic forms of tonsillitis with the help of traditional medicine prescribed as an addition to the main course taking medicines, not as a substitute.In this case, the use of traditional medicines can be prescribed only in consultation with the doctor.
Also fighting angina in home conditions recommended for children whose body is unable to fully accept the drugs. Excess chemical additives in antibiotics can harm the immature children's body. A special category of persons also includes people who are allergic to drugs.
Most modern doctors do not mind the use of folk decoctions as a supplement to the main course of treatment of angina, especially in case of exacerbation of the disease in pregnant women who are not recommended to take medication or surgery.
