Hello As you mentioned that your son is just 15 months and having recurrent throat infection, tonsillitis, strep, & pneumonia. As I have noted that child Chat Doctor.  Usually there develop whistling sound (wheezing) , running nose, eyes tears and these symptoms recurs frequently. This is a very common problem faced by this age group patient. When such patient visit I only prescribe them to take montelukast+albuterol (0.2 mg each / kg body weight) syrup, once or twice in day, depending on severity of infection. If tonsillitis (throat infection) I advise my patient to take levofloxacin 10 mg / kg body weight once in day orally, syrup. Since this is a prescription medicine, so consult your physician and for prescription. Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide much needed relief at once. When your child will attain the age 14 -15 years, symptoms subsides (after puberty). Need not worry this is very common. Good luck.
