How Can Fever Along With Severe Cough Be Treated?

Hi! My daughter is 13 years old. I thought she had a cold -- Sneezing, congestion & cough. It s almost been a week, but she is still coughing. Her health teacher sent her to the school nurse today. Nurse reported no fever and pulse ok, but heard some wheezing in right lung. My daughter had pneumonia in December. Started with a cough, but she had a fever that wouldn t go away. Should we bring her in to see a doctor?
