Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
Peeling of dead skin is a routine. Continuously the upper layer of skin is shed off and the fresh new layer of skin replaces the older one. Often this shedding is seasonal and many times after some sickness.
Apply some moisturizer cream regularly. Multivitamins to taken.
Coconut oil mixed with some drop of honey and glycerine becomes very good home made moisturizer.
For tonsillitis if they are getting infected frequently then better they should be removed.
When ever there is a fresh attack of tonsillitis,It should be treated accordingly with proper antibiotics and relevant required medication.
Routinely gargles with some antiseptic solution help in preventing the frequent tonsillar infection.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
