the symptoms suggest that your child has got viral infection. Treatment is symptomatic in form of anti inflammatory like Paracetamol, antihistaminic for running nose like Cetrizine and a cough syrup. Hydrate the child well, give her good amount of fluids. She should do fine in a couple of days. Viral fever usually subsides in 3-7 days.
