Homeopathic Treatment for Tonsillitis
The selection of homeopathic medicines follows a thorough individualizing examination and case-analysis, which takes into account the patient’s medical history, physical and mental constitution, and other factors, as well as his pathological condition.
BELLADONNA
Useful for tonsillitis when there is difficulty in deglutition, which is made worse by drinking liquids, and when there is a desire for cold water. Tonsillitis symptoms include a dry, congested, red throat, enlarged tonsil, and a constriction-like feeling in the throat.
