Tonsillitis is merely an infection of certain lymph glands. Where once it was thought necessary to surgically remove them at the first sign of infection, antibiotics are now commonly used to treat said infection. Surgery is seldom necessary,.
Herbs have a very poor track record. Some may help relieve the discomfort associated with tonsillitis, but none are known to cure it. And as with any other medication, constant ingestion soon lowers and even removes the beneficial effect of the substance.
If it seems you or one of your children has developed a throat problem, a visit to the doctor is still the best option.
