HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Pentid 400 refers to penicillin g. IN children the dose is given according to their weight so it is likely that the doctor would have determine how much she would have needed based on her current weight.
If she is getting repeated tonisillitis (throat infections) or very severe infections, you may want to consider whether she needs a tonsillectomy .
This refers to removal of the tonsils.
I hope this helps
