keep giving, will settle down

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Your daughter seems to have throat infection from what you described.
This could be bacterial as doctor has prescribed her antibiotics.

They are appropriate and can be given.
If she is spitting out don't worry. Try mixing it with honey to make it sweeter.
Even if small amount goes inside that should help. If she spits immediately try giving half the dose again.
It may take upto four days to see improvement.
Ensure she drinks warm liquids to soothe throat.

Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
