Hi...this seems like a viral illness and associated vomiting. Be rest assured that the tonsils are not the cause for vomiting. Regarding fever - Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
Vomiting medicines are prescription drugs and you need to approach your paediatrician for this.
