How are throat infections contracted?
From sharing saliva with another person through close contact, drinking from the same glass, or water fountains.
Why is my teenager so aggressive with me?
He needs to see his pediatrician to discuss this. He may be depressed or always consider drug abuse. This is not normal teenage behavior.
What does a peak expiratory flow rate measure?
Yes, that's the best way to diagnose asthma is with spirometry which measures the peak expiratory flow with and without a bronchodilator.
Does dairy cause constipation?
Yes, if toddlers drink over 16 oz/day, they can get constipated and also anemic. Should definitely cut back on the milk at this age and offer more fruits and vegetables.
How long can a stomach virus last?
A stomach virus can last for up to 2 weeks
What kind of doctor should my son visit?
You need to take him to his pediatrician. He cannot get tonsillitis without his tonsils, but he can still get a throat infection.

Your pediatrician was correct. These are cosmetic, but if it's bothering you or your child, they are simple to remove by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
