Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have red bump on the right tonsil . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like for tonsillitis strep throat , viral pharyngitis and allergic reaction. Sometimes when tonsillitis persist for long time there may be bleeding in tonsils , injury to tonsil or allergic reaction . You should avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages and avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician for proper examination . Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test and allergy test . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , anti allergic , anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
