hiya just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to deal with tonsilitis.I took Brooke to the doctor today as she had very rough night and quite upset today... he has given her antibiotics and said to keep up with the pamol which we have had to be doing as she has been having high temps since yesterday.poor little thing has been miserable.gave her an iceblock today which seemed to help for little bit.how long does it usually take for the antibiotics to kick in and clear it up?just wondering how many yuck days to prepare for..... ------------- Caleb 15/11/02 Brooke 14/11/05 |

I can only speak from personal experience, but the antibiotics have always kicked in nice and quick for me. (I've had it 3 times!) I'd guess about 1-2 more days and she should be bright as a button again.
Ice blocks are great, yogurt and juice too, and if she gets sick of the sweet things spaghetti goes down easily too. Hope she's feeling better quickly! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

If you see a pattern to her getting it ask for them to be taken out. I had to wait till I was 16 and go privately to have mine taken out and I was getting it 3 or 4 times a year every year. At the moment midcentral is doing a lot for childrens health and once you finally see a specialist you have the op within 3 months, well we did with Andrew's ears. I had lots of icecream and ice blocks and anything really that didn't hurt to swallow. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I used to get it several times a year, but I don't think I was that young. I used to have ice cream and lemonade, but maybe yoghurt and iceblocks are a good substitute! Hope she's feeling better soon. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |
