swollen tonsils, fever, ear ache, nausea, and congestion and cough

[Tanya1114]

My daughter is 14 and for the past 10 days we have been fighting what the doctor called tonsilitis, she is very weak, and tired, her right tonsil is hugh and  the left is not much smaller.  She has been running a fever and is very congested, and nauseated and has vomited off and on.  Her right ear has now started hurting and she said there is alot of pressure.  I have taken her to the doctor twice and she gave her amoxicillin, and some nausea medicine.  She also put her on a fever schedule (Tylonol every 4hrs, Mortin every 6hrs all through the night)  I finally have been able to keep her fever normal in the last two days, but everything else seems to be getting worse.  Is this Tonsilitis?  What should I do?  Help

Hi Tanya, It takes a while for anti biotics to kick in. It might be that the bug is not sensative to the one given by your medic if no improvement in 4 days. Culture then needs to be done. However it could be a virus and then only time will heal.
Vit C essential and gargle with three drops of Tea Tree oil in small cup of warm water.
Tea tree is anti bacterial and anti viral. Put my daughter on garlic capsuls when she was little and kept having bouts like this and it really did help in the long term.
Ginger is a big help if feeling sick

Hope things get better soon.
