Hi Bindu,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Your child seems to have an upper respiratory tract infection mostly due to a viral illness.
Nothing to worry.
Continue to give acetaminophen drops in prescribed dose every 6 th hourly depending on the presence of fever.
And I advise you to consult your Pediatrician for the examination of the child to look for any focus of the infection and its treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.

Thanks for posting your query here.
It seems she has got respiratory tract infection, usually virus infection.
I would recommend giving Acetaminophen drops regularly for 48 hours to control her fever. Along with Acetaminophen drops, occasionally Ibuprofen - another anti-fever medicine may be needed, on advise on doctor.
Imp point to remember:
1. If fever doesn't settle with this drops
2. If she is very lethargic/sleepy
3. If she is not interested in drinking/taking enough food
4. If she passes very less urine
In any of the above issues, please take opinion from Pediatrician.
Usually, symptoms start to settle down within period of 3-5 days.
All the best
