Thank you for the query. From the symptoms that you have provided, your daughter is most likely suffering from a respiratory tract infection (probably viral cause). I would like to know her body weight and whether she is having any joint pain or rashes. Right now, you should give her plenty for fluids orally (since high fever will deny Chat Doctor.  You can give her Paracetamol tablets (up to 1 gm, depending on her body weight, but not more than 3 gm/day). Consult you pediatrician/physician as soon as possible. She may require some blood investigations like Total blood count. If bacterial infection is suspected antibiotics will be required. Hope this helps you out.
