Warm salt-water gargles three times a day shrink the swelling; a pinch of turmeric in the gargle water helps more. Warm turmeric milk at night and soft, warm food through the day. Everything cold is off. Fever with white patches on the tonsils means a doctor visit.
Half spoon salt in warm water, gargle thrice daily (children above five).
