any remedies would be awsome and if u have a cure for me getting sick all the time that would be great too!!! thanks

Answer 1

to help with the sore throat, gargle with warm salt water(sometimes adding lemon juice takes the saltiness away and adds flavor as well as the needed boost of vitamin C). try to drink some mint tea from the store. this stuff has some bitterness to it, so i recommend adding some honey and coffee creamer; believe it or not it actually tastes just like coffee with the creamer and honey! the mint helps to open up your chest so you can breathe alot easier( almost like Vick's Vaporub). you can also try running a humidifier while you sleep. this makes the air in the room more humin loosening the mucus in your nose making it easier to breathe.

Answer 2

Are you quite certain that you get tonsillitis at least once a month???  A MONTH?!   I'm quoting you.  That would mean you get it no less than 12 times a year.  Yet your doctor told you that you don't get it often enough to justify surgery?  Can you tell me what's wrong with the picture you just painted??

Throat:  In addition to (make it hot) saltwater gargles (adding lemon won't give you vit. C.  You're not drinking the stuff), use Chloraseptic anesthetic throat spray and lozenges.  Tylenol or ibuprofen may also help with pain relief.  Stick to soft, easy to swallow foods.

Breathing:  Have your parents buy a mucolytic from the market pharamcy.  It will break up congestion so you can expectorate (cough up & spit out) phlegm.  Sleep with 2 pillows under your head.  Elevation helps to ease difficult breathing.  Vicks Vap-o-Rub or Mentholatum will help when rubbed on the chest.  I wouldn't suggest running out and spending money on a vaporizer or humidifier just yet but keep it in mind.

Prevention:  Eating well, getting enough sleep and exercise are good ways to avoid illness.  Good hygiene, including good hand hygiene, is another.  Drink plenty of water to thin secretions.  To help avoid throat problems and colds, brush your teeth!!!  Good oral care that includes brushing, flossing and a dental rinse can reduce the number of colds and other issues that you get each year.

Now back to how many times you get tonsillitis.  Are you getting sore throats or are you having tonsillitis?  They are not the same thing.  Are you exaggerating?  Be honest.
