Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the question. Your child has tonsillitis. It produces quite high grade fever.
Antibiotics take atleast 3 days to work. Kindly start paracetamol every 4-6hourly for fever and use ibugesic if fever is not controlled by paracetamol.
Wait for 48 hours more as fevetr is part of tonsillar infection.
