Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your health concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Viral Infection leading to the symptoms of tonsillitis,mild headache, occasional dripping nose, laryngitis and tiredness..

Using a vapourizer will help in making the breathing air moist and help in soothing the throat..

You also need to take supportive treatment that will help in resolving the symptoms like taking a a combination of Ibuprofen and Tylenol, anti allergics like Levocetrizine, decongestants like Phenylephrine, Mucolytics like Bromohexine..
Warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and using a humidifier in your room can help..
You can also chew Vitamin C pellet as it will help in improving immunity..
Take a soft diet with ample of fluids..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..

Hope this information helps..


Thanks and regards..
