How to deal with tonsillitis and excessive phlegm in a 7-year-old child

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, tonsillitis is generally caused by streptococcal infection, which can trigger serious complications such as rheumatic fever, arthritis, and nephritis, so it needs to be treated promptly. Generally, streptococcal infection is still effective against penicillin, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment with penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics.
