those are all great treatments although number three i'd be careful with.

Tonsillitis could be bacterial or viral and drs only know which one if i swab is taken. If it is viral you do not want to be stressing your body with execise or it can become much worse. i've had problems in the past trying to sweat it out and landed up with chronic glandular fever which has taken two years to get back to full time work. Doctors have put it down to keeping up my running while having tonsillitis.

Just my opinion from past experiences.
