Question

Our child was premature and has never been very robust. They are particularly susceptible to catching colds at kindergarten, leading to frequent tonsillitis. We are worried about the impact on their health. Please ask: Is it good for a child with frequent tonsillitis to take probiotics?

Answer

Based on your description, it seems that your child’s tonsillitis is primarily caused by bacterial infections. It is recommended to ensure adequate rest, use antibiotics such as amoxicillin for anti-infection treatment, and take oral liquid medicine like Pudelain for symptomatic treatment. There is no need to take probiotics. Additionally, during the treatment period, the patient’s diet and mental state are also very important. It is essential to avoid excessive stress and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with recovery.
