Matilda had tonsilitis and an ear infection at 6 months. Like the others have said, keep her fluids up. I also made ice blocks for her with milk (EBM or formula) so she could have something soothing. If she is on solids, offer but don't expect much. Panadol to help with pain relief & fever is okay for a few days. I had to alternate it for 24 hours with neurophen because Matilda's temp wasn't going down with panadol, but I would only do that for a day or so to not overwhelm their systems with drugs. I used homeopathic drops to help with pain & fever relief, you can get them at the chemist Brauer's. I used those to help as well and after the first 24 hours & the fever was down I would stop neurofen and only use panadol before bed to help keep that pain free time with her ears.

*hugs* its awful being sick & when your little one gets sick as well its so hard.
