    Oh bugger. That really sucks, poor liddle fella.

    Can you freeze some juice or something in case he might like to suck on something cold to relieve the throat pain?

    We've had about 9 bouts of tonsilltis here so I know how terrible it is for bub and mum. By the sounds of it it is viral tonsillitis therefore AB won't help. Unfortunately panadol is about all you can do. Lots of cuddles will help also.

    I hope it clears soon.

    Tonsilitis absolutely sucks, doesn't it. Other than panadol & cuddles, all I can suggest is cool water and pureed fruit because it is not heavy and thick like vegetables.

    My mother suggested wetting a face washer and letting them suck that if the kids won't take a proper drink.

    Good luck!
