HI Rowen
Here are some ideas to heal the issue. The SOul Doctor above has a good answer as well.
Cause
Tonsillitis is caused either by Streptococcal bacteria or, less commonly, by viral infections. For safety sake, throat cultures are necessary to rule out strep throat and family members may also need to be tested, as they may be carriers and need to be treated along with the infected individual.
Note: The tonsils are an integral part of the lymphatic system and they play an important role in adrenal function, and should therefore be preserved.

Natural Cures
Aromatherapy: Inhalations with bergamot, thyme, lavender, benzoin, tea tree, geranium, and lemon can help soothe symptoms. Lemon essential oil can also be used as a gargle.
Diet: Drink lots of fluids, especially pure filtered water, diluted fresh organic vegetable juices, warm broths, and light soups. To relieve pain, take two tablespoons of honey with a squeeze of warm lemon juice and sip slowly. If you are taking antibiotics, eat plain, organic yogurt with live cultures to protect healthy intestinal flora.
Fasting: A pure water or diluted juice fast for the first 48 hours of symptoms can often speed healing. (See Detoxification Therapy for more.)
Flower Essences: Take Rescue Remedy® for accompanying stress.
Herbs: Combine the tinctures of cleavers and echinacea in equal parts and take one teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. As an alternative, you can also drink a hot infusion made from equal parts of dried elder flower, yarrow, and peppermint throughout the day.
Homeopathy: Belladonna, Merc sol., Phytolacca, Lachesis, and Aconite are helpful homeopathic remedies.
Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.
Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can be helpful: carrot, beet, and tomato; carrot, pineapple; carrot, orange; carrot, apple; and carrot, celery, and ginger.
Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients are recommended: Vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, and zinc lozenges. If you are taking antibiotics, also supplement with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria. Garlic capsules can also be helpful.
Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown useful for treating tonsillitis: Acupuncture, Detoxification Therapy, Homeopathy (especially the specific Homeopathies available from Germany), Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Neural Therapy, Osteopathy, Oxygen Therapy, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Best of health to you

Stop eating dairy for a few weeks, and see if that clears it up- taking antibiotics might cure the SYMPTOM, but what you want is to get rid of the root cause, so it won't keep coming back! Dairy is not really a natural human food, if you think about it. How many animals use milk after they are weaned? And, it's not even from our own species! I used to get severe tonsillitis several times per year when I was younger, and they kept throwing antibiotics at me. Ever since I quit dairy, I NEVER get it. Give it a shot, you might be surprised...

there are none. YOu need to be on an antibiotic to clear tonsillitis....it can be serious if you don't go and see your doctor and you could have long term effects if it's not dealt with right away.
