Travel guide to Moda
Tourist tip: Moda comes alive after dark. Spend the day on the water with jet-skiing or parasailing, and browse the nearby shops and marina before the evening starts.
Care and treatment for acute tonsillitis
The physician examines the throat by video, asks about fever and other symptoms, judges whether bacteria are likely and prescribes an antibiotic and pain relief where suitable. Treatment can involve painkillers and fever medicine, throat sprays and, if a bacterial cause is likely, a course of antibiotics.
- Stay home until the fever has gone and you feel better
- Rest and drink plenty of fluids
- Eat soft, cool foods such as yoghurt and ice lollies
- Use simple pain relief and gargle warm salty water
