DD has had a sore throat for a few day just when she swollows or coughs. Then yesterday it got worst and she looked very tired and ill. Didn't want to eat and I had to get her drink. Spent most of the day with dvds or books.
Today I look down her throat and one of her tonsils is takeing up half the space in the throat.
Don't know if I need to worry as she is so much happier today and getting perkier as the day is going on and the pain is almost gone. Plus she's eating and drinking again. But the tonsil is huge but no white spot no temperture and it doesn't like that red and sore just big.

I had a really swollen right tonsil a few years ago the left one was fine but mine was caused by a badly infected tooth on the same side. I think I had to have three lots of antibiotics and the tooth out. Personally I would keep an eye on it over the weekend and see your Doctor on monday if its not better. If its a viral infection it should get better in a few days without antibiotics. Hope your daughters feeling better soon.
