Hello
Thanks for the query
As problem is there for last 3 months and there is recurrence after stopping medication. You have also notice redness of the throat, so she may be suffering from chronic pharyngitis or tonsillitis. It is good that she is active and feeding normally. I would suggest you to consult an E.N.T. specialist so that he will evaluate clinically and also advise some investigations like throat swab culture and complete blood count.
I hope this answers your query well
Wish you and your family good health
With regards
