    when DD had tonsilitis at about the same age, she was only drinking 50ml every 4 hours during the day, and refusing anything over night....
    i freaked out thinking she was going to be dehydrated but when i took her to the dr, they said she was fine.... i didnt believe them mind u

    i took to mixing milk into custard powder (the heinz baby organic one) and into mushy veg, she wouldnt take anything with a hint of a lump so i was getting a extra 100ml in per day doing that....

    it took DD probably 48hours after starting her antibiotics to start drinking a bit more....

    hope she feels better soon!

    Giving a bath can help hydrate her a little. Also try offering a wet facewasher to suck on to give a bit more fluids.

    hope she feels better soon.
