Hi,
If the diagnosis was confirmed in sibling, probably she also have the same infection. As streptococcal disease needs antibiotic treatment, it is better that you consult your pediatrician. For such cases I used to give Amoxycillin or Amoxyclav for 5-7 days. Meanwhile, you can give her acetaminophen for fever, along with saline nasal drops to clear nose.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
