HIT hanks for posting your query.  Don't be scared. This is just infection of throat. Throat infection could be due to Viral or bacterial Infection.  Most of the viral infection will last for 2-3 days and shall subside on its own. Till then, I would recommend her to do Salt water gargling 3-4 times a day, Chat Doctor.  For pains HSE can take Tylenol. But if the symptoms persists even after 2 days its better she consults a doctor as there is a high chance in that case for the infection to be Bacterial.  For bacterial infection the doctor will advise a test called Throat swab Culture sensitivity which will tell what is the right antibiotic for her. Once the antibiotic is started everything will subside in 2-3 days. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask.
