Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Tonsils
Hi, my 2 year old son has lumpy, swallen, veiny tonsils. They just don t look normal to me. He has no pain, no temps, and seems to be his perfect loud self, but is off his food. I had medcall out last night and he said its normal for young kids to have big tonsils however I feel very uneasy about it!

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
This could be acute tonsillitis.
I recommend the following.
1) A course of antibiotics.
2) Analgesic like syrup paracetamol.
3) Avoid refrigerated foods.
He will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish him a good health and speedy recovery.
