Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Fever in tonsillo-pharyngitis usually responds to antibiotics in 48-72 hours .As fever is decreasing , it will become normal in 1-2 days, but remember to complete course of antibiotics for prescribed duration.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

Wishing your child good health.
