????????????: If you feel she has tonsillitis it needs to be evaluated.You have 7-10 days from initial fever to begin treatment & stop potential kidney/heart /brain effects of rheumatic fever. There are many non-penicillin drugs that can cure strep.If it is just viral or mono at least you will know what you need.
