Tonsillitis can be treated with antibiotic medications—such as amoxicillin capsules and metronidazole tablets—under a physician’s guidance. These drugs exert antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, effectively alleviating discomfort symptoms associated with tonsillitis. For recurrent tonsillitis, tonsillectomy may be considered. During treatment, avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, mustard, and ginger.
