    Tonsillitis or inflammation of the tonsils caused by beta-hemolytic streptococci or Streptococcus pyogenes is otherwise known as acute tonsillopharyngitis, bacterial. In starting antibiotic therapy for acute tonsillopharyngitis, the parents of the patient must know that the etiologic agent of the disease is a bacteria that's why an antibiotic is needed for treatment. The nurse should also inform about the most probable adverse effect of the antibiotic for the parents to be aware. Lastly, the nurse should inform about antibiotic resistance because patients opt to stop antibiotic therapy after feeling well, without completing the complete course of antibiotics.
