Patient's question:
The child is ten years old. During the school physical examination, the tonsils were grade 1 enlarged.Doctor's answer:
Hello, tonsillitis is generally caused by streptococcal infection, which can lead to serious complications such as rheumatic fever, arthritis, and nephritis, so it needs to be treated promptly. In general, streptococcal infection is still effective against penicillin, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment with penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics.
