You need to go to the doctor to get antibiotics. Plenty of water and rest. Get the water in early because your kid will stop eating completely when the pain gets worse. You'll be lucky to feed them jelly, ice cream or ice blocks and sleep is unlikely.

∙ 13y agoNot a lot of over the counter meds can help with tonsillitis, but ibuprofen may help reduce swelling of the tonsils. I've found that sipping hot tea helps relieve the pain. I have also used a hot rice pack on one side of my neck which also seems to help, especially if you are having referred pain in your jaw. If your tonsillitis is really bad and you are having a lot of trouble drinking or breathing, your doctor may prescribe a quick dose of steroids, which will help reduce swelling.
