Is tonsillitis contagious?

[Bathsheba]

Even if it's viral they still might put you on ABs... it's because your system is vulnerable to bacterial attack and you could end up having both. This was the case with my DS's pnuemonia... started off viral... they think it then turned bacterial... which is why he got so sick.

If you go on ABs you might want to consider a pro-biotic... ABs can wreek havoc with digestion.

You can always give Nurse-On-Call a ring if you feel you are borderline. I'm forever on the phone to them.

You also might want to consider Manuka Honey... bought from a Health food store, not supermarket... has to be 20+ strength... it is fantastic for throat infections!
