thanks for your question.well bacterial tonsillitis produces throat irritation and pain while swallowing. continue erythromycin course as prescribed. also pcm. he can take oral ondansetron if vomitting is not controlled.
give him hot and soothing liquids and soft easily gulpable diet.
like hot soup, dal , mashed dal and rice , oats , khichadi etc. slowly appetite will improve.
