Tonsilitis Again!!!!!

Hi,

Just wanted to know how many of you have the tonsilitis problem. I am sick of it. I used to have it as a kid and it was fine for a while. Now when I am 27 it is back again with a BANG. I had some ice creams and my tonsils immediately got infected  and not only that my ear is blocked and I have a severe ear pain  . It's driving me crazy  . The ENT doc has given me an antibiotic for a ear and tonsil infection and told me to stay away from cold stuff permanently  I sure will considering the intensity of the maddening ear pain.

Hey i have this problem too.....once i had just come from swimming and i had ice-cream and after that a cold-drink too n the next day when i got up somebody was waitin for me and it was TONSILITIS. ohhhhh man I had a tuff time shutting them. i had to take heavy doses of antibiotics. with these i also got Fever.....can imagine my state .....!

I used to get terrible cases of it all the time as a kid. As a young adult, it seemed that I would get it if I ate too much sugar.  Even now, I get a sore throat from sugar. Sorry to hear that  you guys get tonsilitis, too. Jean

I used to have problems all the time when I was a kid and they took them out and that solved that.  But as far as ears go I had so many sets of tubes in my life I've lost count I even had holes in my eardrums recently from the eardrum not closeing after the tubes fell out.  They tried to fix my r eardrum sx (graphing) but it didn't work I still had a hole.  For several years I had the holes and just recently after an ear infection that wouldn't heal with the pcp I went to the ent and the l ear healed itself but the r ear formed a pocket and there was fluid in it so they put a tube in right there in the office!!!!!!!!!!!!!  After all those sx to do it!!

khalifa,
     I agree about the garlic. My Greek gandmother used to have us swallow whole garlic cloves just as you say. She said it was to keep away the evil spirits. I think it's a good idea.  Jean 

Hi,
    Garlic is an amazing herb (vegetable). It is used in almost every meal here in the subcontinent.

http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/garlic.html

Garlic has many active constituents including alliin, allicin, alliinase and unique sulfur compounds. Allicin and the sulfur compounds of garlic are the ingredients primarily responsible for garlic's potency as an antibiotic, anti viral and a fungicide and for its use in treating high blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, for helping to prevent certain types of cancer, as well as its use as an immune stimulant. Allicin is a strong antibiotic agent produced when the alliin and alliinase are merged together, as happens when a fresh garlic clove is crushed or chewed

Take care, Peace!

Hi all,

This garlic thing is really interesting. I know that it has medicinal properties but isnt it enough using it in our cooking or does it make a difference when we take it early morning whole with a glass of water. Does it lose its properties when cooked?

Thanx

Hi all ,

Yea u guys are right....Garlic is the best remedy for cough and Tonsilitis. Since my childhood my Mom gives me 1 table spoon ginger juice with 1 tablespoon honey and a pinch of turmeric in it. Believe it or not but this really works for me.....!
