What Is Tonsillitis?

 What Is Tonsillitis?                 

Tonsillitis is a inflammation of the tonsils caused by bacteria or a virus. When this happens the tonsils

 at the back of the tongue as well as the tissues at the top of the ”adenoids” become enlarged and when

 enlarged it is usually a infection.

The symptoms are chills, and a high fever the swollen tonsils ache the throat can be sore and it may be

 difficult and or painful swallowing.

There are herbal lozenges with essential oils- especially peppermint, menthol, eucalyptus, and lemon

 that can help soothe and numb the pain when swallowing.

These essential oils are also anti-inflammatory and are antibacterial.

Remedy for Middle Ear Infection Pain

Upper respiratory infections caused by bacteria or a virus can usually spread to

 the middle-ear. Now,sometimes allergies can be the culprit and not the

 respiratory infection. Either way it’s painful and symptoms can be stabbing pain, 

 fever, and/or difficulty hearing.

This may sound odd- but using an onion compress for pain is very effective

 because the fumes have certain properties that are anti-inflammatory,

 antibacterial and are able to relieve pain fast.

Grate 1-2 onions and spread the puree on a cloth-fold and place the compress

 on the affected ear then cover it with a heating pad.
