I heard you say your throat feels like it is on fire, but if it was ME, I'd gargle with warm salt water with a little cayenne pepper in it, unless you can't tolerate hot peppers. It doesn't take much, and if you are leary, I'd start with just a little cayenne, where you can't even feel or taste it. I use it for Every infecton in me and my pets, and it hasn't failed yet. Wven made nose drops out of it before I knew there was something similar on the market, and opened a completely stuffed up nose in an hr with 3 apps, that each one opened me a bit. I was really condered since I had never heard of it's used in the sinuses, but I was despirate. I mixed the amt I was gargling with, and diluted it some, and it Did bring tears to my eyes, but I was Very worried it might be the wrong use for it, and how to get it out Fast if it was, even though it cured every other infection in minutes.
I also use it as a plaster for sore, strained muscles, and in 20min they are cured.

Ok, here's my problem-i was diagnosed with tonsillitis on wednesday., here's what I've tried; salt water gargles, lemon/tea/honey, lemon/honey/water, and I even broke down and took the Vicodin, Zithromax and Prednisone the ER doc prescribed. Any suggestions? I have not eaten (much to speak of) since Tuesday night. I am taking enough liquids to keep me going (I think) and to swallow my medication. Does anyone else have any other useful hints for me? The pain is just a fraction to what it was, but its the swelling of my tonsils that makes it unbearable, also, my throat literally feels like its on fire, even when I just swallow water. Open to all suggestions!! Jul
