If tonsillitis is caused by a viral infection, it is necessary to wait for the normal healing process, which may take one to two weeks. The following measures may help the healing process:
Aim for normal weight! Determination of BMI (body mass index, body mass index) or body composition by means of electrical impedance analysis and, if necessary, participation in a medically supervised weight loss program or program for the underweight.
BMI ≥ 25 → participation in a medically supervised weight loss program.
Falling below the BMI lower limit (from the age of 45: 22; from the age of 55: 23; from the age of 65: 24) → Participation in a medically supervised program for the underweight.
Review of permanent medication due topossible effect on the existing disease.
