Brief Answer:
It looks like Staphylococcal infection only

Detailed Answer:
Hi
It looks like Staphylococcal infection.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Amoxicillin and Anti inflammatory tablet containing Aceclofenac to my patients with similar complaints.
You can use the same Antibiotic that is taken by your daughter.
If there is no response even after 1 week,then you have to consult a Doctor.
Nothing to worry.It will come down.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery
