hello, to me it seems to be a case of viral fever coming at the time of seasonal variations. if everything other than fever is normal and your child is perfectly normal in non-febrile intervals, u need not give her any medications other than anti-pyretics (fever lowering drugs like paracetamol). but i would advice you to visit your pediatrician as the child needs to be examined physically to look for any illness that needs specific treatment. and it is never advisable to start any antibiotics without the advice of a doctor so, u can wait till u see a doctor for giving your daughter a prescription. thanks
