The problem is most vegetable oils in a supermarket are trans fats and cause cholesterol to be high. Zinc acetate in small amounts would cure tonsillitis if kept in the mouth, with lysine for 5 minutes. Without tonsils zinc acetate also. Relieves pain within five minutes of the sore throat. You can try potassium citrate 1/8 teaspoon, which seems to do the job also.
