Symptoms of tonsil infections

My daughter is 5 years old. Since yesterday she is complaining of throat pain and difficulty in swallowing. We are travelling now and so unable to take her to a doctor. What are the symptoms of tonsil infection? How do I check for that? If she has tonsil infection will there be fever? Any medicines for it?
