As per your query your daughter have symptoms of frequent sore and swollen throat. Well these symptoms are due to upper respiratory tract infection or swelling of tonsils and inflammation of tonsils. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 2-3 times a day. You should take steam inhalation twice a day. Take paracetamol for fever and headache. Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxiclav at least for 10 days along with decongestant. Maintain proper hygiene. Drink plenty of water and liquids. Doctor may order test like swab test , blood test , and viral culture test to rule out condition like acid reflux and strep throat. Avoid cold beverages and spicy food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
