As an immune organ of the body, the tonsils can become inflamed when attacked by pathogens such as viruses or bacteria. For special populations such as AIDS patients, these infections are more likely to occur due to the deficiencies of their immune system. When there is a viral infection that causes inflammation of the tonsils, you can use broad-spectrum antiviral drugs such as ribavirin for antiviral treatment, as well as symptomatic treatment with drugs to relieve pharyngeal symptoms, and tablets to relieve sore throat symptoms, and pay attention to more rest, which can usually be cured. In addition, for tonsillitis combined with bacterial infection, such as purulent tonsillitis, you can use penicillin or first-generation cephalosporin anti-infective treatment. The symptomatic treatment is similar to the treatment of tonsillitis in the case of viral infection, which is based on relieving the pain in the throat and paying attention to rest and a light diet.
