Majority of throat infections, or pharyngitis, are viral, therefore do not require antibiotics. Did a doctor diagnose your daughter with a bacterial pharyngitis?
The drug of choice would be ampicillin {Amoxil} if no drug allergies are known.
The throat infection may be viral or bacterial. The first choice for a child is amoxicillin. The second choice is Azithromycin.
