[|Human|] Hi, my 8 year old daughter is suffering from klebsiella infection in tonsil for two years now. on past few months, the infection occur every three weeks. She is taking many kinds of antibiotics given by her doctor according to the result of her throat swab test. What can you advise to us?
[|AI|]  HIT hanks for posting your query.  Tonsil infection if recurrent can be troublesome to treat as the antibiotics used may not clear all the bacteria.  I would recommend using one more course of Antibiotic as per the Throat swab test and use it for 3 weeks and before stopping the antibiotic, a repeat Throat swab culture has to be done, and it should show that the infection has cleared.  But if the repeat swab test shows a persisting infection then antibiotic has to be continued for few more weeks.  If even after doing this her tonsil infection recurs then she should be considered for surgical removal of tonsils. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask.
