Thank for use the website about your question I think that your daughter needs some tests like a bacterial culture because you already treated her with amoxicillin and she is keeping the same symptoms,probably she have another kind of bacteria or amoxicillin resistance one, always a bacterial culture is a better option because no only identified the right germs but also the best antibiotic to use. I hope that my advice can help you
