A girl I banged last Saturday had some kind of nasty throat cold that got passed on to me. At first I woke up with a really bad dry throat but later on this week when I was in different girl's bed I my tonsil became HUGE.

Like, my tonsil was so big I could cough it back up on to the back of my tongue.

I thought if I could just get some water (I didn't have any water at her place) and sleep it would be better in the morning. But this morning I woke up and it was as big as ever, and getting painful too.


So I went online and read that tonsillitis is usually the result of a bacterial infection in the mouth.

Well, what is the best oral debriding agent we know about here on the RVF?

I went into the bathroom and poured about 2.5 shots worth of Hydrogen Peroxide into a cup, and swished it in my mouth like any other mouthwash. Of course it tasted like shit but I gargled anyways.

I spit it back out and it sounded like I had poured lava down my throat from all the sizzling and hissing. However, it did not hurt at all; on the contrary, my throat cooled off immediately.

Afterwards I rinsed my mouth out with some water and took a 4 hour nap. When I had woken up, my tonsils had been reduced in size significantly. Right now my tonsils are back to normal size but still a little sore.


Now you won't find this on pubmed, but let it be known for everyone here: Anytime you get sick in the mouth, try rinsing your mouth out with hydrogen peroxide (don't mix it with water, swish it pure). Takes like shit but it's basically the nuclear bomb of anti-bacterial oral warfare.

In the dental office, we regularly use hydrogen peroxide and apply it in infected areas. Clears infections up v. v. well.

Some other good ones-

1) Clear High Proof Alcohol (I prefer vodka) DONT SWISH w/isopranopol, its toxic if you swallow it
2) 1 tablespoon of baking soda in warm water. Will help reduce inflammation.
3) Antibioitics work well if it is a bacterial infection.

The commonality in Hydrogen peroxide and alcohol is that they are antiseptic solutions. Baking soda is basic and basically destroys the cell walls of bacteria (pH and all). Antibiotics...well its antibiotics

Cheers.

I rinse with it every morning after brushing my teef.

Rinsing with cayenne pepper works the best... Even better if you can stomach swallowing a little bit. I also like using manuka honey. That works really well when combined with the cayenne and easier to swallow after gargling

Check the concentration on the bottle - depending on that, consider diluting it with water.

I found it gave me mouth ulcers when I used the 4% product and no water added.

I remember being recommended this once at the dentist and it worked. Can't remember if she said to mix it with water, but probably did.
