Since tonsillitis can be viral or bacterial, please avoid self-medicating with antibiotics. For faster recovery, try these supportive measures: Warm saline gargles 3-4 times daily to reduce throat inflammation. OTC throat lozenges to soothe irritation. Stay hydrated with warm fluids like broth or herbal tea. Continue Dolo (Paracetamol) if throat pain is severe, as it also acts as a pain reliever. Please consult a doctor for a physical examination of your throat to determine whether you require prescription medications such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs.
