Natural remedies?

Just when I thought everyone was getting over their colds, my youngest sister has got both tonsillitis and an ear infection. I’m trying to look for some natural remedies to help relieve some of the symptoms rather than just filling her with painkillers, etc. Any ideas?

Aww bless her/ you both 😌 if there is pain, then pain killers are a blessing imo. Do you have a beany bag you can warm in the microwave to use as a compression her her poorly ear ? ... I have a leavender one that helps with sore ears. I really would go and see a doctors tho if she is very poorly. Keep an eye on her temperature 🤒 pain killers also help bring that down. Plenty of fluids and rest too xx

@SW-User Thank you 😊 I hadn’t thought about a hot beany bag. We have loads of them. We have been to the doctor yesterday but if she’s still bad we’ll go back Monday morning. She gets poorly quite a bit and has underlying health issues so I’m quite OTT with stuff like this, and I check her temperature a [b]lot[/b].
