May be viral...: But if it very painful, or swelling past the center of his throat, or if he has fever over 101.5, take him in to be seen.

Swollen ?: Most tonsilar inflammation in toddles is due to a variety of viruses which come and go.They can test positive for strep, which is the only one antibiotics would help, when they have a concurrent viral infection.The swelling, if it is really swollen, will gradually fade over time, but they are often larger than seen in older kids or adults.If newly ill, a recheck is warranted,to see why.
