It really did help with the infection. Ever since then when I have the beginnings of a sore throat, or strep, I've used it and it seems to help clear things up quicker. I know she does not have mono, but it may help. You may consider googling it, or asking your doctor if it would be worth a try. The taste is not the best, and you certainly don't want to swallow it, but at least from my experience it seems to be an effective "home" remedy. |
I am glad you posted. We are heading in to week 4 with this and STILL battling it. The hydrogen peroxide sounds like a great thought. After all, we have done everything else. She is on day 4 of her third antibiotic and the white nasties are gone, but they are still very swollen and she is still in a lot of pain. So much so that when she talks she does not move her jaw. I just don't get it. I don't hear of other people having this problem with tonsillitis. I am sure we will be looking at a surgery in the very near future.
