Friend run down in hospital with tonsillitis after a very stressfull time

[cityangel]

Can anyone who's had tonsillitis or been very run down please suggest things that worked for them or helped them rebuild their strength.

My friend will have the medical support but I am hoping to uncover any alternative options, food, drinks, vitamins that helped.

All ideas gratefully received.

I used to get tonsillitis frequently. The things that helped were:-

Live Yoghurt to replenish guts after a the ABs
General Vitamin tabs
Plenty of fluids
Fruit

If you can do anything else just to help out - stock the freezer with (home-cooked) meals for example?

Cake?

Lovely that you want to help her out

Thank you need to learn to cook first!

Cake is a good idea...

Well ,what works for me is Goldenseal tincture .
Few drops in water ,gargle and swallow .
Good diet - lots of vit c ,fruit smoothies ?
You're a good friend !

I'm a strong believer in home made chicken soup.

thanks everyone this is really helpful

A holiday. I had this when my dad was really sick (or rather, immediately after he was discharged from hospital). It did go away eventually but I was going down with tonsilitis about every three weeks - it was miserable...
