Hello! I read your query and I understand your problem. If your son was my patient I would suggest you to wait a couple of days more, in order to give time to antibiotics to work. I would also suggest you to take care that your son gets plenty of rest and Chat Doctor.  Meanwhile, I would also suggest you to teach your son to wash hands frequently; teach your son to not use other persons cup, glasses, toothbrush or other personal utensils; teach your son to not kiss friends and relatives until he is completely over the tonsillitis; teach your son to cover his mouth when coughing or sneezing; buy a new toothbrush to your son once he has started the antibiotic.  I would suggest you to call your sons doctor if his condition gets worse: he has difficulty in breathing or swallowing, his symptoms do not improve within a couple of days. I hope I answered your question. Furthermore, I hope your son will get better soon! Best regards!
