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.
