Gosh, what could tonsillitis and hepatitis A possibly have in common to be confused? 🤦‍♀️ And if the hepatitis isn't caught and treated in time... OMG, this is another terrible example of criminal negligence, I hope there are no consequences for your child!
I understand you well because I too come from a family of doctors for generations and it was very strange, I can't even explain it how when I got sick, the diagnosis just popped into my head, I don't know this disease, I've never had it. I went online and read up on the symptoms and they indeed turned out to be the same. And then it was very unpleasant when in the university hospital I had to say to the doctor, in my helplessness: "I'm sorry, I don't want to tell you this because you're the doctor, but you're wrong."
It didn't help at all, I took two days of antibiotics and used other useless but dangerous medications before starting the real treatment. I was also very late.
I don't know if my partner trusted me either, after all it's pretty unusual to say doctors in a university hospital are wrong. It was not one, but three at once!
Indeed, it is not my job to self-diagnose or self-medicate. If it could be so, they should arrange society in another way.
