Hi, I can t sleep. I keep coughing.I do have swollen tonsils and have been taking antibiotics and lozenges to help with the pain but then when I get better the cough starts adding strain to my tonsils. I will see the doctor tomorrow but what do I do to get a good sleep tonight without constantly coughing?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Tonsillitis causes throat irritation and inflammation. And they inturn cause edema and congestion are the causes for your symptoms.
So do these things for better symptomatic relief.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
2. Avoid oily and spicy food.
3. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
4. Take combination of antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
Do all these and it will mostly improve your symptoms and you will be able to sleep.
Consult doctor tomorrow and get full prescription.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
