For IgA nephropathy patients who also suffer from tonsillitis, they need to be treated according to the principle of regular medication for tonsillitis, using amoxicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics (cefuroxime, etc.), together with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers (ibuprofen), and other symptomatic treatment.
Inflammation of tonsils in patients with IgA nephropathy is still considered to be related to bacterial infection, and the clinical symptoms are also sore throat, difficulty in swallowing and fever. Since patients with nephropathy may be combined with hematuria, proteinuria or renal insufficiency, renal function needs to be closely monitored during the medication period, and the dose of the drug should be reduced if necessary to minimize further damage to renal function.
If IgA nephropathy is related to chronic tonsillitis induced by repeated episodes of tonsillitis, elective tonsillectomy is recommended during the stabilization period. The above drugs should be used under medical supervision.
