Brief Answer:
This seems more of a viral sore throat. Any cold symptoms? Cough?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this sore throat that your daughter has. I have reviewed this information fully and the attached image. This looks more of a viral sore throat and more likely is she has cold associated symptoms. If she does, please report them to me. For pains, I will recommend a combination of Tylenol and Ibuprofen thrice daily. This way, we will be able to adequately control the pain. If this fails to regress, then testing for strep and treating with antibiotics would be considered.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
