Hi....your daughter seems to be having a recurrent viral infection. Rather than using antibiotics without knowing what it is I suggest you do an immunodeficiency work up for your kid after consulting with your pediatrician. I am telling this because every month she gets fever of 10 days, which is very unusual and she is underweight too.
