Hello,
Because she has developed fever recently after having the cough for 5 days, it is important to have the girl checked to rule out any complication with pneumonia. If her lungs and throat are checked and there is no infection, then there is nothing to worry but just keep her well hydrated.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
