Hi,
Based on the history you have shared,your daughter can go into crisis secondary to the cold and temperature. You should take her to doctor immediately and get her started on antibiotics and anti-pyretics. Plus keep very good hydration because temperature can cause fluid loss due to sweating and dehydration can trigger crisis.
Wishing her a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
