6 Year Old With Tachycardia And Tonsillitis. Are These Related?
My grandaughter has tonsillitis and is tachycardic as a result.. The hospital have given her antibiotics and let her go home. Why is she tachycardic is it the raised temp due to infection? They told my daughter to try to keep the temp below37. Her heart is racing away. She is normally a helathy little girl. She is 6 years old.
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.
