Question
The child was born just a few days ago and has been scratching their ears lately. I am inquiring about the treatment methods for chronic tonsillitis and whether it needs to be removed.
Answer
It is recommended to use penicillin, cephalosporins, and antiviral medications such as acyclovir granules for treatment, along with ensuring adequate rest and staying hydrated, avoiding catching a cold, and consuming light, easy-to-digest foods. General conservative treatment is sufficient. Tonsillitis is caused by bacterial infection, which can lead to fever in the body and requires timely antibiotic treatment. A routine blood test can be done to assess the extent of the inflammatory infection.
