Hi ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. Most probably she is suffering from viral respiratory infection. In my opinion, I would suggest you to give her paracetamol when she has fever. You can give her Calpol every 4 hrs. Mefkind forte is for elder children. At infants it can cause hypothermia.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
