Improvement
Which measures help to achieve an improvement in the signs of tonsillitis depends on both its cause and its course. Although pronounced difficulty swallowing is one of the most common signs of tonsillitis, a sufficient fluid intake can improve the symptoms. This is especially true when small children and school children suffer from tonsillitis.
In these groups of patients, dehydration (dehydration) can quickly occur and the signs can increase. In addition, bed rest is one of the most important measures that lead to an improvement in the signs of tonsillitis. In the case of viral inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsils, treatment must be purely symptomatic.
The administration of antibiotics is not effective for the patients concerned. Painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen are particularly suitable for improving the signs of viral tonsillitis. Since ibuprofen, unlike paracetamol, also has an anti-inflammatory component, this drug should be given preference.
In addition, warm chamomile tea can also help to alleviate the signs of inflammatory processes in the area of the pharyngeal tonsils. In streptococcal angina, however, the improvement of the signs can be accelerated by the administration of an antibiotic.
