hi my 16mth old son has been diagnosed with viral tonsilitis by my gp. Ive been given a script for abs but Im to wait to see if it turns bacterial before administration. Im wondering if there are any simple home remedies I can use to ease his discomfort. I am giving him alternating paracetamol and ibuprofen but it seems inadequate to his discomfort.

I really understand your concern, and here are my recommendations for your son:- Get enough rest.- Chat Doctor. - Use a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier in your room.- Gargle with warm salt water-Suck on lozenges containing endocrine or other anesthetics.- Continue with paracetamol or ibuprofen. I hope my answer was helpful! Thank you again!
