Hi, I don't normally ask for help on these sites, so you can tell I must be at my wits end. My nearly 2 year old was diagnosed with tonsillitis yesterday and given antibiotics and we were told to give regular doses of calpol and nurofen, which we are doing. He's stopped eating, which I can understand if his throat is sore, but he's also not drinking a lot. He is very thirsty but won't drink much as that hurts him too. We are putting his milk and water in the fridge as that seems to help but he's still hardly drinking. He just seems constantly in pain and won't settle. He's screaming and crying most of the time and he's biting us a lot as he's obviously in a lot of pain ???? He's also having a lot of dirty nappies (poo, hardly any wee) so I think all the calpol and nurofen might be upsetting his tummy too. Is this something that we're just going to have to get through, or has anyone else had anything similar? Please help, we don't know what to do to help him ????
