Thanks for treatment in HealthcareMagic, your girl has streptococcal infection, acute tonsillitis and complication for joints, for excluding of rheumatoid fever we should do antistreptococcal antibodies, rheumatoid factor and other rheumatoid test, which rheumatologist can prescribe to her. You should immediatly start to give antibiotic to her at least augmentin 1000 1 tab 2 times after meal 10 days, aceclofenac 1 tab 2 times after meal, loratadine 1 tab 1 time before night. Rince gurgle with chlorhexidine 4-6 times, take strepsils, sualin for resolution and lary spray 1 dose 4 times in gurgle. Check urine analysis also, because we afraid urinary infection. Give to her plenty of water, ginger, lemon and turmeric powder tea.
