Patient's question:

The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears all the time. How is chronic tonsillitis treated? Does it need to be removed?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to apply penicillin, cephalosporin, and antiviral medications, such as acyclovir granules, etc. Rest and drink plenty of water, avoid getting cold, and maintain a light, easily digestible diet. Generally, conservative treatment is sufficient.
