Tonsils are the straining organs for many infections. If a virus is causing the illness, rest and topical measures are good. If the infection is caused by bacteria, she will needs oral antibiotics from a doctor. The best method to decrease inflammation and pain is a simple salt water gargle with 1/2 tsp salt in a cup of warm water. You can even add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to add extra disinfectant properties.
