Hi
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your concern.
Your grand daughter is having tonsillitis and tachycardia is due to fever .
Relax,continue with medication prescribed by your doctor.
Give her acetaminophen every 6 hourly till fever is more than 100F,
Give her plenty of fluids ,lukewarm water will be soothing for throat.
Give simple bland diet to maintain proper nutrition,
Your child will be fine in few days,
God bless,

Hello dear...
The tachycardia in your grand daughter is due to the fever & the on going infection (Tonsilitis)
Analgesic like paracetamol syrup can be used to control the fever, while the antibiotics will take care of the infection.
There is nothing to worry...just administer the medicines as advised by the Doctor.
Wishing her a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
