Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In case of streptococcal infection penicillin works. But it should be only after sensitivity test. As it has allergic reactions. If your daughter has recurrent tonsillitis then it is better to remove it. As recurrent throat infection may cause heart disease /rheumatic fever. Consult a ENT specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
