tonsillitis

Just thought i'd share this trick with other singers. I had a touch of tonsillitis last week, not that bad tbh, but still couldn't sing. I went to the chemist to get the usual Tyrozets and Difflam spray etc. but the pharmacist said to try natural live yogurt. To have a big spoon before going to sleep and swallow it slowly…

Was a bit skeptical, but tried it anyhow, and I am not exaggerating, the difference overnight in my voice was amazing.
He said that the natural bacteria in yogurt is stronger than the bacteria in tonsillitis and will kill it off.

Was a great tip, thought I should pass it on
