The main cause of acute tonsillitis is viral or bacterial infection. If it is due to viral infection, no special treatment is needed because the infection is self-limiting, and it is recommended to drink more water, eat lightly and take rest. If the infection is bacterial, the most common causative organisms are gram-positive cocci such as streptococci, and penicillin or a generation of cephalosporin antibacterial drugs are preferred for treatment, and these drugs are available for women who are breastfeeding. Whether the tonsillitis is caused by bacteria or viruses, it is not recommended to use drugs at your own discretion. It is recommended to improve the routine blood test first, and then clarify the nature of the infection according to the results of the blood test, and then use symptomatic drugs.
