It's tonsillitis.. again!


Sick

Based from her records, last time she was treated for tonsillitis was in March. The pedia advised to continue giving her paracetamol only if her temperature is 37.8 or higher. For the next seven days, she has to take antibiotics for her swollen tonsils.

I've read that if the inflammation is caused by a virus, antibiotics won't work and that the body will fight off the infection on its own.

I wonder if we should've taken a rapid strep test to check if antibiotics are necessary. For now, I'll trust our doctor and see if the little girl will improve. Have any of you guys heard of/used a Rapid Strep A Kit at home?
