hi scottcrocker74,
i have seen your question,
Calpol is an antipyretic medicine which tackles fever quite effectively . yet it does not work as antihistamine nor as an antibiotic which is essential to reduce viral infection . hence i reccommend you to consult a pediatrician nearby for further guidence.
I hope that your daughter gets well soon.
