Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
To bring down the temperature immediately,give paracetamol (crocin) 15mg/kg body weight as often as every 4th hourly depending on the requirement.
You also do tepid water sponging of the whole body which helps in bringing down the temperature
Once the temperature is down you can take her to the doctor at your leisure.
For nasal stuffiness you may give cetrizine syrup 5ml once daily
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
