My 15 mo was just prescribed antibiotics by gp for tonsillitis. She had a temp of 39.5 and has pretty explosive nappies (Calpol gives her a dodgy tummy anyway.) But I've just read on nhs website that abx aren't necessarily prescribed for tonsillitis, even if it's bacterial. I don't want to give her unnecessary meds that will give her an even worse stomach if its not needed. What are people's experiences with this? She's only had the tiniest drop of the medicine as she won't take it off the spoon and we haven't tried syringe yet....and probably won't if gp has incorrectly prescribed!!
