Suggest Remedy For Tonsillitis In A Child

My 6 year old son has a sore throat. I had him say ahhh while i looked at it. Its a little red but i noticed for the first time, a small tongue looking thing at the back of his tongue. It s not the punching bag thing (as we call the hanging thing at back of throat). What is this thing? Should I be worried?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of tonsilittis which seems to be due to infection and inflammation of tonsils which is due to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined and start treatment after thorough examination. You should get blood test and throat swab examination done. You should avoid intake of outside food. You should give child steam inhalation. You should take proper course of antibiotics such as Levofloxacin along with antiinflammatory medication such as Sinarest. You should maintain complete oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
