Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son had his tonsils out last Thursday so today is day 4 and so far he has had the worst pain today I have just woken up to him crying from pain it is 11 at night so i gave him Ponstan syrup but i gave him 30ml instead of 20ml he is 9 and a half years old and weighs about 30kg what should i do?
Welcome to HCM, I have gone through you query and understood your concerns, to feel discomfort is common in postoperative recovery, He has not infection but probably he has some inflammation and mucosa irritation due the procedure, I suggest to keep a local and natural treatment focused to relieve the symptoms, it would be great if he starts to do some saline gargle mixed with honey every 2-3 hours and drink one tablespoon of honey 4 times a day any kind works well (when he drinks the honey he needs avoid to drink or eat until 30 minutes) Honey is a bactericide with excellent anti-inflammatory property that's going to improve the healing process, be sure that he drinks plenty of fluids and vitamins supplements if after 2 days the symptoms still persist a doctor should be consulted
Please kindly rate if my advise has been helpful Wishing you a good health Dr Tania Portelles-Driggs
