Hi,
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Thank you for posting in HCM.
In acute tonsilitis patients often complain of vomiting as enlarged tonsils cause irritation in the throat.
In such young patients Antibiotics can also irritate the stomach.
It is better if you use antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor.
Do add Syrup Cetirizine 2.5 ml at night time for runny nose.
Wish your kid good health.
