Hi Ritu. The best precaution is to avoid consumption of refrigerated food and drinks since these harbour viruses that can cause tonsil infections. It is also a good practice rinse your mouth and throat with a mouthwash before and after any meals. This will reduce the chances of getting a tonsil infection. For an active infection you will need a course of antibiotics which can be prescribed only after examining the tonsils.
