Hi
Thanks for trusting HealthCare magic for your health problems.
If fever is coming regularly for 5 days you need to go for lab investigations.
Common cold and cough is suggestive of respiratory infection.
But you need to go for x-ray also to diagnose pneumonia.
If wet cough is for more than 2 weeks and she has decreased appetite along with fever please do sputum examination for tuberculosis.
For fever try home remedies like salt water tepid sponging.
Consult pediatrician as early as possible.
