Thanks for posting on Chat Doctor. I understand the cause of your concern. Most of the fevers in child Chat Doctor.  Viral infections are generally characterized by high rise of temperature as in your daughters case. Generally these also have an allergic component as exhibited by the running nose. Such fevers last for 5-10 days before they resolve on their own. Antibiotics are ineffective in such cases. All you have to do is to keep the temperature in control. This can be done either by cold sponging or by use of medicines. Metal P contains paracetamol. Coquitlam additionally contains ibuprofen and can reduce temperature more effectively and can be given. Give some antiallergic like levocetirizine if not given already. Cold sponging or bathing the child are effective methods and should be resorted to. Hope that helps. Feel free to revert in case of further queries if any.
