Hi, I've suffered from throat and ear infection for 10 years due to my swollen tonsils. I get fever almost every month and it affected my life in a way that I'm always absent at school then at work. I know what you mean when you mentioned the ear infection since our ear is connected to our throat. The pain is unbearable and I always have to go to the doctor. I had tonsillectomy last December 2005 because my tonsils was in a very bad stage and it couldn't be cured by antibiotics anymore.
If you really cant see a doctor, avoid drinking cold drinks, eating too spicy or sweet foods.
Orange juice is good because it has vitamin C but i suggest fresh Lemon juice/lemonade.
Hope you'll feel better soon!

Tonsillitis treatment using Lime
Lime is one of the most effective remedies in the treatment of acute tonsillitis. A fresh lime squeezed in a glass of warm water, with four teaspoons of honey and a quarter teaspoon of common salt, should be sipped slowly in such cases
Tonsillitis treatment using Milk
Milk has been found valuable in tonsillitis. A glass of pure boiled milk, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder and pepper powder, should be taken every night for three nights in the treatment of this condition. It will bring beneficial results
Tonsillitis treatment using Vegetable Juices
Juices of carrot, beet, and cucumber, taken individually or in combination, are especially beneficial. The formula proportion recommended, when used in combination is 300 ml of carrot juice, 100 ml of beet juice, and 100 ml of cucumber juice Pour some garlic juice in the paining ear; its antibiotic qualities will help to relieve the pain. If your earache is due to rise in altitude than just chew gum or yawn. This will contract the muscles and open the Eustachian tubes. For swimmer's ear, put some mineral oil in both ears before going in the water. Apply some heat to your aching ear using a heating pad or a warm cloth. Put few drops of hydrogen peroxide in the aching ear. Put two drops of holy basil leaves’ juice in the aching ear.

First thing go to emergency room they can't turn you away,If indeed it is tonsillitis or even could be step throat.You need to be on an antibiotic now.If you try to self cure these things it could do permanent damage like to your ear. I would hate to think of you suffering like this even one more day go today now.Stay away from acidic things like o.j. Good Luck and don't wait so long!

You should really go to the doc ... Is there someone that can help you out? If not, try the emergency room or your local health department. It's very harmful to you if you continue to go on with them swollen. Good luck hon!

are you sure you don't have strep throat? if you do you will not be able to get rid of it without going to the doc. you will have a bad sore throat and an ear ache from the pressure on your ear tube
