If you have tonsillitis, is it helpful to use chopsticks to add salt?

Using chopsticks to add salt to inflamed tonsils is generally ineffective and will not improve the condition. Instead, it will cause local irritation.

Tonsillitis may be caused by heat factors, and it is not ruled out that it is caused by bacterial or viral infection, which will cause swelling and pain in the tonsil area. If you use chopsticks to add salt, it will irritate the tonsils, easily causing local swelling and pain to worsen, which is not conducive to the rapid recovery of tonsillitis. Therefore, you should not use chopsticks to add salt, and this method has no therapeutic effect.

Tonsillitis can be treated by taking oral cephalosporins and amoxicillin-like drugs, which can achieve anti-inflammatory and anti-infection effects, or by taking Chinese patent medicines for clearing heat and detoxification. However, this type of medicine must be taken under the guidance of a doctor and should not be taken without authorization to avoid affecting your health.

During tonsillitis, the diet should be light and easily digestible. Try to avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers or malatang. You can eat some fresh fruits and vegetables to provide nutrition to the human body without irritating the tonsils. At the same time, you need to drink more water, which can help excrete some toxins in the body and help the condition recover and improve.
