Hi, It looks like your daughter got a severe viral infection (probably viral exanthem) which can have a headache, cough and generalized body ache.  Common infections which can cause above-mentioned symptoms are Dengue infection, Chickunguniya infection, Adenoidal infection, Enteric fever, Ricketts infection etc. I would suggest you give plenty of oral fluids with adequate analgesia (Paracetamol), which can make her feel a little better.  If she is very weak or not taking anything orally or has decreased urine output, then better to consult a pediatrician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
