Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have an inflammation in throat secondary to infection and it is leading to swollen tonsils causing Tonsillitis..
It can be either due to bacterial or viral throat infection..
As there are pus filled blisters over the tonsils it is a sign of bacterial infection leading to Pustular Tonsillitis..
Fever is secondary to infection..
As you have started taking antibiotics since 4 days there should have been some improvement by now if it is due to bacterial infection..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist or Paediatrician and get evaluated and a throat swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
She can be advised to take antibiotics for a week and also take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
-She can gargle with warm saline solution..
-She can chew a Vitamin C pellet daily..
-She can avoid spicy and hard foods and take a soft bland diet with plenty of fluids..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
