My child has been dealing with a cough for almost a year now, and we've tried multiple government hospitals, but nothing seems to be working. I can't afford private doctors or medication. Is there anything you suggest we can do?

I'm really worried about my 2.5-year-old son. I've noticed that his left tonsil appears bigger than the right one. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned? Could you let me know what steps to take next?

That could be infective tonsillitis,give him warm fluids and plenty of water, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management
