HELLO,
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN HER BODY -The tonsils are small glands at the back of the throat that help fight infection -sometimes, bacteria (often streptococcus) infect them, causing tonsillitis - pain, swelling, and fever. -If the infection spreads deeper into the surrounding tissue, pus collects behind the toil, forming a peritonsillar abscess
It’s like a “pocket of infection” behind the tonsil- similar to a boil- causing -severe sore throat usually on one side -pain when swallowing -difficulty opening the mouth fully -swelling on one side of the neck -fever,weakness, and sometimes ear pain
This is a a serious infection because if it spreads further it can cause breathing difficulty or affect deeper tissues
WHAT MUST BE DONE FIRST
1) IMMEDIATE ENT EVALUATION= the abscess often needs drainage (a minor procedure) 2) ANTIBIOTICS- usually given by injection or Iv first, then oral 3) PAIN AND FEVER CONTROL= paracetamol or ibuprofen 4) HYDRATION AND REST= warm fluids and soft foods
Once this acute danger has passed, Ayurveda can support recovery, immunity, and prevent recurrence
Ayurveda calls this condition tundikeri -It arises due to imbalance of kapha and. Pitta dosha- leading to inflamamtion , infection and pus formation -improper digestion, low immunity, cold exposure, and consuming cold or heavy foods increase toxins, which blocks channels and allow infection to build
TREATMENT GOALS -remove infection and drain pus -reduce inflamamtion, fever, pain -heal mucous membranes of throat -prevent recurrence -correct lifestyle factors
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) MAHASUDARSHAN CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily after meals with warm water for 7 days =reduces toxins, fever and infection
2) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 15 days =balances pitta and enhances resistance
3) YASHTIMADHU CHURNA = 1/4 tsp in warm water 2-3 times for 10 days =coats mucosa, relieves burning and dryness
4) CHYAWANPRASHAA= 1 tsp after breakfast for 3 months =builds immunity, prevent recurrence
EXTERNAL TREATMENT
1) TRIPHALA KASHAYA GARGLE= 1 tsptriphala boiled in 1 cup water-> strain -> gargle= twice daily =cleans infection and speeds healing
When recovered start oil pulling with sesame oil stregthens oral mucosa
2) WARM COMPRESS -apply a warm cloth to the neck to hot to ease pain and swelling
DIET -warm soups- moong dal, vegetables, barley -light porridge, khichdi -warm herbal teas with ginger, tulsi ,honey -fresh fruits like pomegranate apple if tolerated -pelnty of warm water to stay hydrated
AVOID -cold drinks, ice creams, yogurt, and cold water -spicy, oily, fried or sour foods -heavy foods-panner, cheese, non veg during acute phase -smoking or exposure to cold air
DAILY HABITS -maintain good oral hygiene (brush, tongue clean, gargle daily) -keep throat warm and avoid sudden temperature changes -sleep 7-8 hours, manage stress -avoid talking loudly or straining the thraot
YOGA -Simhasaa= strengthens throat muscle and improves circulation -matsyasana= improves blood flow to throat -sarvagasana= balances thyroid and immunity -practice gentle asanas only after fever subsides
PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances pitta and kapha -bhramari= soothes throat ad relieves stress
FIRST PRIORITY= medical drainage and antibiotics- life saving in abscess cases Then use Ayurvedic care to restore balance, heal tissues, and prevent recurrence Patience is key - full immune restoration takes 4-6 weeks
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

For a condition as serious as tonsillitis with an abscess, especially with symptoms like high temperature, severe headache, difficulty swallowng, and general body weakness, immediate medical attention is strongly recommended. These could be signs of a significant infection potentially requiring antibiotics or other interventions that Ayurveda alone may not be fully address.
While waiting for professional medical care, certain Ayurvedic strategies can support comfort. Start with warm salt water gargles, they can provide temporary relief and reduce swelling. Mix half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water, and let her gargle gently twice to thrice a day. Ensure she doesn’t swallow the water, just gargle for a bit and spit it out.
For dietary adjustments, emphasize warm, nourishing foods that are easy to swallow like broth, warm soups, and cooked applesauce. Avoid sour, spicy, and fried foods as they can aggravate symptoms. Hydration is also critical—offer warm water or herbal teas such as ginger or turmeric. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, while turmeric is known for its antiseptic qualities.
Introduce a steam inhalation using eucalyptus oil to help reduce congestion in the throat. Put a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a bowl of hot water, let her inhale the steam covering head with a towel for about 10 minutes.
Finally, consider a light neck massage with lukewarm sesame oil, especially on the swollen area. It may soothe the pain and promote circulation, but do so gently to avoid any discomfort.
It’s very important to prioritize getting her to a healthcare professional promptly. Ayurveda can complement treatment but it is not a replacement in acute-infection cases like this.
As you have mentioned your daughter having high temperature with difficulty in swallowing she needs first up all antibiotics supports once she recovers we can start ayurvedic support
In such a condition when there is tonsillitis with abscess eye, fever, pain, and swelling on one side neck it indicates acute infection formation that requires immediate medicalcare Ayurveda suggests soothing and anti inflammatory support but when an abscess has already developed antibiotics or surgical drainage may be needed to spread of infection You can give warm water gargle with a pinch of salt Decoction made with tulsi leaves ginger and Mulethi can be given Giloy tab 1-0-1 Triphala guggulu 1-0-1 Avoid cold foods curd sour fried foods Give soups If fever is high swallowing becomes difficult or swelling increases pls consult Ent surgeon asap Once the acute stage settles ayurveda can help build immunity and prevent recurrence
