Question
My child is nine months old and has recently developed tonsillitis. While administering medication, they have been experiencing dry vomiting. What could be the cause?
Answer
Tonsillitis is commonly caused by infectious bacteria such as Streptococcus or Staphylococcus, and treatment should involve penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet, providing easily digestible and small portions of food to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal system. If it’s just a common cold or without cold symptoms, anti-viral medications should not be used.
