Child Complaining About Sore Throat And Crying Can Be Due To Huge Swollen Tonsils?
My son (who is 3) has been crying for about 20 minutes (we wouldnt let him draw on the wall) and whilst I was brushing his teeth I noticed that his tonsils were huge and swollen..is that because he has been crying or do I need to take him to the GP? He complained about a sore throat about 2 days ago but I havent heard a complaint since...thank you!

Hello
It is not likely that the tonsils will swell up due to crying and they will mostly swell up due to an infection. Please meet your doctor for examination and advice because the swelling is not a normal thing.
Take care
Thanks
