Toddler and tonsillitis

[Gemmabobble]

Hey everyone. My son was diagnosed with tonsillitis yesterday by the doc. He has been given penicillin to treat it. Today he has slept for most of the day! This is totally out of character for him. I’ve read lots of things online. Just wanted some advice. Has anyone else found this? I’m worrying a little - any words of wisdom would be welcomed

Is he easily roused and just sleeping off the infection or is he unrousable

As long as he's breathing ok, the a/b will kick in soon. Fluids and rest, anything food wise he fancies.
Worth getting him seen acutely if it happens again, ie, kissing tonsils, you don't really want that. However, take heart, these things happen, and don't nec mean on going problems

Good luck

When my (then) 17mo had the flu he pretty much slept for 2 weeks. Waking to drink water, take medicine and occasionally eat small amounts.
