Hi.
I appreciate your concern.
symptoms of your daughter are mostly viral in nature,but since fever is continuing there are always chances of super added bacterial infection i will advise you to take her again for consultation,meanwhile maintain proper hydration,give her plenty of fluids,if fever rises above 100 yu can give paracetamol.
your daughter will be fine.
god bless.
