Tonsillitis, Angina
Treatment
Tonsillitis caused by a bacterial infection is treated with antibiotics. Although antibiotics against an infection without first being detected the presence of bacteria is generally not recommended, tonsillitis is an exception because bacteria are the most common cause of disease and no viruses.
Often when a child is suffering from tonsillitis, family members must do some tests to determine if asymptomatic carriers of streptococci of group A. In this case, they should receive antibiotics to kill bacteria and protect the baby against infections recurring.
Some children suffer from recurrent or chronic infections. If you do not respond to treatment with antibiotics, a practice of tonsillectomy (surgical removal of tonsils). Currently, these interventions are trying to limit the number of serious cases, because these procedures have certain risks.
Periamigdalian abscess is usually treated by drainage through the administration of antibiotics and sometimes by removing the tonsils (tonsillectomy).
Cause of viral tonsillitis resolves itself. It can be given acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen to reduce symptoms. Instead, should not be given aspirin to children with viral infection. This could cause Reye's syndrome, a disorder characterized by very serious prejudice to the brain.
