Tonsillitis - throat infection

Many kids are prone to tonsillitis several times a year. The fever will go up and vomit all you eat, I have a headache, and in some cases, drowsiness and smell of acetone in the breath. When submitting vomiting, we should not force them to eat.

They must offer fresh liquid in installments of one hour after the last vomiting. As for the recurrence of infections, we first need to confirm if they are produced by beta hemolytic streptococcus, and this is done through a crop of pharyngeal exudate.

If positive, will be carried out by the same study to the closest relatives (mother, father, siblings). Usually, usually located a healthy carrier who, like the little sick, you should indicársele penicillin. In any case, the angina "repeat" are not sufficient to raise a tonsillectomy (tonsils operation).
