See acute tonsillitis is quite common among children and fever is because of infection only. You have to give her some antibiotic after an expert opinion of child specialist along with syrup ibugesic-plus or syrup calpol every 8-12 hours for fever and syrup cetrizine or syrup wikoryl every 8-12 hours for throat discomfort and other flu like symptoms if present.
