Answer

Tonsillitis is often associated with streptococcal infection and can generally be treated with cephalosporin and erythromycin medicine. If there is penicillin allergy, it is advisable to use cephalosporins with caution and perform a skin sensitivity test beforehand. Azithromycin can be used conventionally. Drink plenty of water. Avoid spicy and cold foods.
