any ideas?

[nuttymum1]

ds is 23 months he is full of cold very bunged up and snotty hacking cough and his throat is red raw, glands are swolen and from what i can see his throat looks swolen inside
he could also have chicken pox my friend came round the other day with her ds but all his spost had scabbed over and were going
and my ds has come out with a few white-head type spots that are only there for about a day he dosnt have a temp and is happy in himself thank you (sorry its a bit long!)

sounds like he may need antibiotics if his glands and throat swollen. I would phone NHS direct and ask them and see if they think he needs to be seen by a doctor.

could it be tonsillitas?

with toncilitas you get little white spots on the toncils. I've also had throat infections that can make your throat very red and glands swell up like that too and been given antibiotics for it. Definately pop him to dr's and get him checked out.
