Hi,
Thank you for your query.
A fever of 105.6F, sore throat and a stiff neck needs to be evaluated by a doctor immediately. You have done the right thing by giving her anti-pyretics and a shower but get her examined and investigated so that she can be managed. I am in no position to comment on the red circle without an examination.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your daughter an early recovery.
