Question

My daughter has two small lumps on both sides of her tonsils. I’m not sure if this is serious. Previous treatment and outcomes: not concerned.

Answer

Your situation involves your baby having tonsillitis. You can start with symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and antiviral treatment. If it’s not very frequent, it usually shrinks gradually with the baby’s growth. However, if the baby frequently gets inflamed with severe swelling, surgery to remove the tonsils may be considered.
