Hello,
Your daughter has cough, runny nose, fever and leg pain. These symptoms are suggestive of viral infection. The medicines you are giving her- paracetamol (calpol), neurofen (ibuprofen) and tixylix are fine. Besides these you can try steam inhalation, this will help in her cough.
But if she develops fast breathing or her symptoms persist beyond 7 days please get her evaluated by a pediatrician.
Hope that helps.
