Suggest A Treatment For Tonsilitis

I've been suffering from tonsilitis since 2 days ago and it really hurts. Yesterday all I ate was one piece of bread with butter, one small cup of yoghurt and rice porridge (but couldn't finish it). I went to the clinic and the doc prescribed me antibiotics for 10 days and they should be consumed before eating. Can i take the antibiotic with yoghurt because that's the only food I can bear with? Thanks.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that you have an infection in throat leading to Tonsillitis..
As far as anibiotic intake is concerned, you should better take it with warm milk or warm water..
You can although take Yoghurt but should not be sour in taste as it can further irritate the throat and can cause increased mucous production too..
Along with taking antibiotics , you should also take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and pain..
You should suck throat lozenges as well as chew a Vitamin C pellet to boost immunity.
Do warm saline gargles, steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room..
You should sip on warm water and other warm fluids..
Avoid spicy and hard foods..
Take a soft bland diet and sufficient rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
