Brief Answer:
Symptomatic medication...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Viral flu infection is the most common cause of these symptoms. However the progress should be monitored carefully over the following days. At present I will suggest to start:
Syp crocin DS and Syp Ascoril flu Kidz. The dose is weight dependent. May I know your daughters latest weight?

I will also suggest you try steam inhalation if she can cooperate. Keep her warm and covered. Use only soft napkins or nasal wipes / tissue to clean nose.

Regards
