Brief Answer:
She needs antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
Hello

From the complaints it looks like that she is having a throat infection and definitely needs an antibiotic for it.

The enlarged glands in the neck are likely to be due to the throat infection and will subside once the infection is cured.

Most of the time the infection is caused by bacteria and Clauvin is a good antibiotic, but 125 is not the correct dose and only one tablet will not cure the infection.

Please continue the mouth gargles and losenzes and meet your doctor , he will examine her and prescribe the appropriate antibiotics for the infection.

Dont worry
She will be fine!

Thanks
