What should I do if a child's tonsils are inflamed and pus-filled?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after each acute episode of tonsillitis, there is usually an interval of about 2 weeks. Therefore, children aged 4-6 can have several episodes of tonsillitis in a year. Bacterial tonsillitis requires antibiotic treatment, and the cephalosporin you mentioned is generally sufficient. If the fever exceeds 38 degrees, consider using fever-reducing medication. Symptoms usually improve within 3-5 days, so please don't hurry.
