Brief Answer:
sound like an acute infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello & thank you for submitting your question.
The symptoms you are describing sound like an acute infection, most likely viral. Your temperature is a low-grade fever. However, the nerve sensations ('pins & needles') should be monitored closely for the development of any rash or blisters in the area--this may be the signs of shingles infection developing. If this is the case, you should see your physician as soon as possible. If the symptoms do not improve in a few days or get worse, it would be very reasonable to see your physician (and also report your daughter's recent viral illness) for a complete physical examination and possible adjunct laboratory tests.
I hope you're feeling better soon.
