Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Thank you for your query.
You can try home remedies for sore throat like honey, salt water gargling, steam inhalation, sipping warm water with lemon. As mood swings and pale look is concerned she may be anemic so would suggest you to get her hemoglobin level tested. Also with antibiotic usage one becomes tired and restless due to fatigue and hunger. It would help her if she has yogurt and buttermilk in her diet.
I hope this answers your query.
With best regards,
