Hello dear!. I can understand your condition at the moment. A detailed history and a physical examination would have helped me more in diagnosing the condition. Probably she is having upper respiratory tract infection most probably pharyngitis. I would advise you to get her a complete physical examination done by a pediatrician or else start some good antipyretic for fever like spy. Paracetamol 120 mg/5ml5 ml 4-6 hourly(alternate with ibuprofen after 3 hrs interval if fever doesn't settle with one dose of paracetamol). Start spy. Azithromycin 200 mg/5ml (3 ml once daily for 5 days). Hope it will help. Wishing your child good health
