Hello,
The symptoms of your daughter seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection. A physical examination and an X-ray is needed to exclude pneumonia.
Meanwhile, I recommend using anti-fever mediation such as Acetominophen to relieve the fever. I also recommend using a daily probiotics to prevent diarrhoea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
