Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that your daughter is having a Bacterial Throat Infection and white pustules are pus pockets that further confirms towards bacterial infection..

As she is on penicillin that is an antibiotic and can very well fight bacterial infection, therefore you need to make her continue the same and only if after ten days also there is no relief you need to consult a Physician.

She can also take:
-Anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen can be taken to relive pain.
-Doing warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and using a humidifier in your room can be very much relieving.
-She can also suck throat lozenges to soothe the throat..
-Gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
-Gargle with antiseptic solution like few drops of betadine in water..
-Chew Vitamin C pellets to boost up the immunity..
-Avoid spicy and chilled foods..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
