Abstract
The article analyzes an approach to the choice of antibiotic therapy in the treatment of tonsillitis. Traditionally, β-hemolytic streptococcus is eradicated with penicillins. Underestimating the role of microorganisms causing exacerbation of tonsillitis can lead to ineffective antibiotic therapy. Staphylococcus aureus plays an important role in the recurrence of tonsillitis. Unprotected β-lactam antibiotics are not effective in the treatment as these bacteria produce β-lactamase. Amoxicillin in combination with clavulanic acid has bactericidal action and is effective against Staphylococcus aureus as a pathogen of frequently recurring tonsillitis.
