Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi Bee! I've figured out the cause of our sore throats! It appears Marina obtained either bacterial or viral tonsillitis a few days before I did, and now I have it. Both of us have only the right tonsil affected at this point. (Swollen and white pus indicating the infection). We are going to try natural treatments of course. For many years, I have had the tonsoliths on and off... I haven't had them much in the past year though. This problem is not the tonsilliths, however. I don't have the hard, yellow pockets of pus which indicates them. My right tonsil is now just covered with white streaks of pus, and we both just have pain in the right side of our throats. We will continue the clove and garlic teas, as well as gargling with salt water and h202 water. I didn't see any other remedies for tonsil problems... I was just curious if you had any in addition to what we are already doing. Thanks! Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect your tonsil problem is because your body is retracing previous episodes, so like many others IF you got tests done there would be no bacteria there. Other treatments are found in the Thrush Treatments article which involves solutions you can gargle and swallow to help your throat; http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat18.php Also moisture is important for the throat, just as it is for the respiratory system, so that article on cold, cough and flu I pointed you to yesterday has recommendations that will help too. The best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
