Can streptococcal tonsillitis heal itself?

Streptococcal tonsillitis is a common upper respiratory tract infection, mainly caused by group A streptococci. 2. In most cases, streptococcal tonsillitis requires treatment because the infection may persist even if the symptoms disappear on their own over time and may lead to serious complications such as rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis, etc. 3. Treatment usually includes antibiotics to eliminate the infection and symptomatic treatment such as pain relief and fever reduction. 4. In some cases, if the patient's immune system is functioning normally, the infection may resolve itself without treatment, but this is rare.5. For people with weaker immunity, such as children and the elderly, streptococcal tonsillitis is more likely to cause serious complications and therefore requires prompt treatment. 6. In addition, if the patient has other health problems, such as heart disease, kidney disease, etc., it is even more important to treat streptococcal tonsillitis because these complications may affect the treatment of these diseases. Key information: streptococcal tonsillitis generally does not heal and needs treatment. Timely treatment can prevent complications, especially in people with weakened immunity. If streptococcal tonsillitis is suspected, seek medical attention as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment.
