thank you for using healthcare magic.
For your child's symptoms, it may be upper respiratory tract infection. You may take Augmentin (Co-amixiclav) for every 12 hours for 7 days provided she is not allergic. Dosage is based on your child's weight. It would be better to have your child seen by a doctor in order to rule out other causes of fever and cough (like pneumonia, bronchitis, etc.)
