Is Redness On The Inside Of The Throat A Concern?

My child just finished amoxicillin for an ear infection, last dose today, i was looking at my throat due to drainage and my 2.5 year old son wanted me to look at his, so i did and he has a lot of red veins on his tonsils/throat, his throat doesn’t hurt and no white spots. Is this normal??

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Any throat congestion in children is a concern. However, I assume he does not have any symptom of throat infection like fever or throat pain, and you also mentioned that he is on his last day of antibiotic.

I would recommend you to wait and watch for any symptom of infection, no further intervention required as of now.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ravi
