My daughter often has tonsillitis. She is 4 years and 5 months old. Should she have her tonsils removed?

Patient's question:

2 months, 3 episodes of inflammation

Doctor's answer:

Because this disease is mostly caused by streptococcal infection, the use of antibiotics and sulfonamide drugs is effective. The first choice of antibiotics is penicillin. Those allergic to penicillin can choose erythromycin, clindamycin, etc. If it frequently recurs, it can be considered for surgical removal.
