Suggest Home Remedy For Strep Throat With Swollen Tonsil

I recently caught strep throat. The symptoms had mostly subsided (fever sore throat) when I started to develop ear pain. Looking in my mouth the right rear is considerably swollen, including the tonsil. I am having difficulty swallowing and am in great pain. What are your recommendations for home treatment?

Hello and welcome to Health care magic,

Take salt water gargle with warm water at least twice a day. Since you are hypertensive, you can gargle with minimum salt or even plain warm water.

Start an anti reflux tablet like pantoprazole along with a multivitamin like the zincovit. These will help your throat to be resistant to irritation and also keep the reflux under check.
Take only bland diet for the next one week.
Avoid anything spicy, oily or high flavoured.
Eat tulsi leaves ,do betadine gargle.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
Regards
