Quote from orion:

1. try taking zythromax it kills mycoplasma which sometimes get into tonsils

2. have your thyroid checked, low thyroid means poor immune function

3. take Zinc 50mg, Selenium 200mcg, Vitamin D 1000 IU daily. Each of these vitamins is known for their germ fighting ability. Also add a daily multivitamin just to cover possible holes in your micro nutrients.

My right tonsil was badly inflamed and the above recommendations worked slowly but well to fix things up.

Thanks. I haven't tried Zithromax for this yet, but I have taken it many times before. The pharmacist also recommended it when I asked him what else I could take since I am now allergic to Penicillin. My primary care doctor checks my thyroid every year when he orders blood tests for my annual physical. So far nothing has been abnormal. And I also happen to have just bought Selenium because someone else recommended it for my immune system as well! I have been taking the Women's One A Day multivitamin for the past few months, too. Your suggestions are right on, but I am already doing them and still have these oozing, pus filled tonsils!b :(
