HI! My 2 yr old son had terrible diarhea for over a week. Took him to dr., and after examintion said he has bad strep infection. He took Moxypen for 7 dys. Yesterday returned to Dr. to check throat agin to make sure that the infection cleared. Dr. said that my son s tonsils are very swollen with blood vessels. He prescribed azithromycin for 3 days. What can this be? Should me son be taking so many antibiotics?
Hello understand your concern. If I were your sons treating doctor, I would have first done a throat swab culture and rapid streptococcal test. We will know if the swelling of tonsils is caused by bacteria or virus. Did your doctor confirm by doing some test that he have strep infection? Did your son vomit anything? If you have further questions, kindly ask us again. Wishing your child good healthChatDoctor
