Hi, it appears to be the recurent tonsillitis,it is to be treated completely. I to my patient with such infection prescribes erythrocin 250 mg B.D. for 7 days, and decongestants . if still it is continuing he may need to have culture and sensitivity and treatment accordingly. So i advise to consult a pediatritian for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
Hi Seema Thanks for writing to us. I understand your concern It is normal for children to have repeated infections till age 5 to 6 as they are exposed to various types of infections.at school,from friends,during playing etc. No need to worry as they develop immunity to all this slowly. lump you are mentioning are lymph nodes which gets enlarged after any infection viral or bacterial. I recommend you not to give any self medication. Get your child examined by pediatrician . In the meantime give him plenty of fluids and soft bland diet. You can give paracetamol in prescribed dosage for pain relief.
