Question
The child was born just a few days ago, and recently, it seems to always be scratching its ears. Do children with tonsillitis need surgery?
Answer
Tonsillitis in children is usually treated first with antibiotics for inflammation, with a course of about seven days. It is recommended to follow the treatment regimen to prevent recurrence of the disease. For those with penicillin allergy, other appropriate antibiotics can be chosen. It is suggested to drink plenty of water and pay attention to diet to help the child recover quickly.
