poor little girl....the ab's should make a huge difference to her...remember they come down with things quick but with a bit of help they perk up quick too....just give her anything she will take, yoghurt, those frozen yoghurt icecream things, banana smoothies, offer water all day, anything to keep fluids up. when she gets hot try sponging her down with lukewarm water...
Shanti. I hope she feels better soon. It's so hard when they are hurting but there is not much you can do to help them isn't it.
ETA: Can you give her some pro-biotics with those antibiotics? DS got thrush in his mouth when he had ABs the first time so I put some inner health plus in his bottle. The chemist said it was ok. You might want to double check though as I'm not an expert. It helped DS.

Rowellen - I thought of that but because we're BF she is getting all of those probiotics through the breast milk!
Times like these i am extra glad we are still BF'ing as she hasn't taken much else!!! She's drinking plenty of water too luckily so she's not dehydrated. Had some tinned fruit pieces tonight for dinner so that's something.
Oh the poor little love! Hope she's feeling better soon.
I second Rowellen's pro biotics. When Darcy started CC she got tonsillitis really badly 4 times in four months. You could see the pus and smell it! erck. Then there was the thrush....some suggested the pro biotics and she picked up so quick.
honey. If it makes you feel better, I'm a nurse and earlier this year I made my DD suffer through two days of high fevers and complaining before I took her to the GP where we were given a LAUGHING diagnosis of tonsillitis! (If I didn't know my GP so well I'd have clocked them for laughing! It was one of those "You dill" kind of laughs). She was so bad that I almost took her to the hospital that night for IV fluids...
Keep pushing the fluids and panadol (I also gave neurofen at the same time as panadol for pain relief) and keep up the AB's. She should pick up withing 48 hours.
