What should I do for a sore throat and swollen tonsils due to tonsillitis?

When experiencing throat inflammation and swelling of the tonsils, the following measures can be taken to alleviate symptoms: 1. General treatment: Speak less and avoid speaking loudly to prevent worsening of throat swelling and pain. Drink plenty of water to keep the throat moist, which helps reduce inflammation. 2. Dietary adjustment: Maintain a light diet and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins. Avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods that may exacerbate throat swelling and pain. 3. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, use antibiotics (such as amoxicillin capsules, cefuroxime, etc.) for anti-inflammatory treatment to relieve discomfort. If throat swelling and pain are severe, medications such as watermelon frost tablets or Qingyan Dropping Pills can be used to alleviate symptoms. 4. Surgical treatment: If tonsillitis recurs frequently or there is significant local swelling, surgical treatment such as tonsillectomy may be required under a doctor's instructions.
