HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Singulair is normally used in persons with asthma or allergies. It is not normally needed or used simply for the common cold or flu.
She would need medication for the fever such as paracetamol which would also relieve the pain of her throat.
The rhinathiol is a mucolytic which would help with a wet or productive cough and may also help break up the mucus in her nasal passages if this is a problem.It can be used in conjunction with the prospan and cetirizine.
YOu may want to speak to her doctor regarding your concerns about the medication
I hope this helps
