Hi...by what you quote I feel that she is recovering form viral illness and it is very common in kids to have cough while the viral illness is settling. Cough is a precursor that the kid is recovering from viral illness. As the fever has remitted now the cough may remain for another 2-3 days.

Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.
