Bacterial tonsillitis can be treated with antibiotics, but viral tonsillitis cannot. A throat culture can confirm the presence of streptococci or other bacteria and will help your physician determine the appropriate care.
Swollen, enlarged tonsils may make swallowing painful and eating difficult. Encourage your child to consume liquids and soft foods. Warm (not hot), very cold and bland fluids may soothe the throat. Gargling with warm salt water may also provide relief. A nonprescription pain medication, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, may be used to reduce pain and fever. Aspirin may have negative effects, so check with your doctor before administering and medications. Rest will promote healing.

Gargle with warm salt water. This may loosen up some of the pus formed in the tonsils.
also will sooth the throat.
Then some gargle with listerine.
Mix toothpaste with warm water and gargle for pain relief.
