Brief Answer:
Antibiotic can be added.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would advise that you should get your daughter clinically examined and investigated by her Paediatrician.
A throat swab culture will help in planning suitable antibiotic for treating the infection.

Meftal-P and crocin both have paracetamol and can be repeated after 6 hours.

I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
