Yes try gargling with viniger and salt, this works wonders for tonsilitis, or just try TCP diluted with water and again gargle with it.

Get them out! I had strep throat/tonsillitis a few times a year for about 10 years! I was even hospitalized last year for four days because of my throat. The infection in my tonsils was so bad that I developed sacs of puss in the back of my throat called abscesses and almost stopped breathing. I had to have them drained, it was disgusting and painful! After getting out of the hospital, I got my tonsils removed about a month later (after all the swelling went down). Even though recovering was one of the worst pains I have ever had, it was definitely worth it! I haven't had any throat problems since!
Go to the doctor and get it taken care of soon, it can get a lot worse! Trust me!

Have your tonsils removed! I would get strep and tonsilitis all the time! Finally at the age of 19 doctors advised me to get them out! It was the worst pain in the world BUT i have yet to have a sore throat and its been 8 months! Its so worth it! plan to take 2weeks of school or work off if you are over the age of 15!! It takes time to heal but you wont regret doing it!

chloraseptic spray may help-it'll numb it. Also try gargaling with salt water or applecider vineager/water. But I used to have this all the time and any remedy will only help for a little bit. You need antibiotics to make it go away. Also, I used to always get strep along with my tonsilitis that you may want to check that out too.

I had it all the time when I was a kid. Penicillin worked great but I got it all the time so they just took out my tonsils.

Boil ginger till it's concentrate (dark yellow), add some lemon if you want. then drink a cup while it's hot. It should clear your throat in no time. I do that whenever i have sorethroat and it works all the time. It feels sooo good.
Singers drink warm water and ginger concentrate too to improve their voice.
Also, I sometimes drink whisky without ice, it burns my throat and I feel good and warm
