Can Gargling Vodka Help Me Get Rid Of Tonsillitis?
Hi, I've been to my GP today who said I have tonsilitis. They are white and black with puss but he said antibiotics are not necessary as studies have shown they only cmxlear the infection up a number hours quicker than without them. How about gargling vodka? Would this help? Thanks Liz
I dont think gargling with vodka will help and it may even make the situation worse by damaging the lining of your throat. On the other hand you can gargle with warm salt water or hexidine mouth wash, 3-4 times a day, that will help. Thanks
