Hi,

As per your query your son has swollen tonsils which could be the reason for cold and cough along with difficulty in swallowing.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you consult an ENT specialist for proper examination. The doctor will examine with laryngoscope along with physical examination. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory or recommend a tonsillectomy. Yes as of now do warm saline gargles and avoid spicy and hard food products. Give child milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric bedtime for relief and take soothing lozenges like Vicks.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
