Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having acute upper respiratory tract infection.
She might require one course of antibiotic medicine like Azithromicin or amoxicilin for 5 days.
Give her ibuprofen medicine for pain and fever instead of paracetamol as an anti-inflammatory medicine as well.
Give her light diet.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.
