Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your query; it suggest that your daughter may be suffering from the acute pharyngitis with rhinosinusitis. In this condition in our patient I personally advise:
1. Tablet azithromycin 250 mg twice a day.
2. Tablet fexofenadine 120 mg once in the night.
3. Tablet multivitamin once a day.
4. Otrivin nasal drop 2 drops thrice a day.

Please consult your doctor for evaluation and prescription of medications.
