Hello! I think this is a upper breathing ways inflammation after the flu. In this condition, I don't recommend antibiotics. I recommend you Sinarest for your daughter (i can't tell you the dosage because i don't know her age) She has to take Sinarest no longer than 7 days. If the symptoms persist or she has fever again, she has to see a doctor. I wish you all the best!
