Brief Answer:
Mefenamic acid and Asthelin syrup

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
Based on the information provided by you I feel your daughter is having viral fever. As it is not reduced even with paracetamol, I after examination would have prescribed her a suspension containing Mefenamic acid. And would have advised for tepid sponging. For cough i would have advised steam inhalation and salt water gargling 3 to 4 times a day. And for cough Asthelin syrup.
Hope this helps.
Take care
