Swollen tonsils with small white patches

2026-09-29 05:39:46
My daughter had a fever for 2 days which automatically subsided. Alongside she was clearing her throat, seemed like something was getting stuck in throat. No throat pain was there. Coughing was like close to nil. Is this viral throat infection ? Her throat is fine now, looks normal and fever lasted 2 days. Maximum temp reached 102.5
