Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Fever with runny nose in children could be due to rhinitis
(allergic or infective),sinusitis,common cold or may be URTI.

In children,runny nose is mostly due to viral infection because of their low immunity and may be because this viral infection she is having fever 101-103 degree F.

You must take her to pediatrician to get properly diagnosed first as there is fever not subsiding even after taking tylenol or motrin.

And don't keep giving her just paracetamol or ibuprofen on your own.

It just subsides fever and when the drug effect is over,fever comes back.

So,better to consult doctor.may be she will require antibiotics with other symptomatic medications like antihistamines.

Regards,
