[|AI|]  Hi Allison, your daughter seems to be having either an ABV infection (infectious mononucleosis) or a Strep throat. Other possibilities which seem less likely are diphtheria and bacteria apart from strep. I would advise you to get a throat swab done for RAT to see if strep bacteria is present. If the RAT is positive, start her on Amoxicillin for 10 days If RAT is negative, she should get a throat C/S done, and an ABV VIA antigen (or a Moonshot test) to check for mononucleosis.  For her symptomatic relief:1. Warm saline gargles 5 times a day (very good relief with this)2. Lozenges to suck on3.  Warm fluids like soups and oatmeal to nourish her if she can't take solid food4. Paracetamol for the headache and fever the fever and white patches persist in spite of the above, I suggest you see a pediatrician to rule out rarer causes. Hope she gets better soon.
