Your child is suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection. You give her paracetamol along with do tepid sponging to bring down the temp. Also give her Timinic syp 2.5 ml thrice a day for five days, Syp Zinc 5 ml once a day for 14 days. Maintain adequate hydration and proper nutrition. Be watchful for persistence of fever, increased respiratory distress, decreased oral intake or any other obvious symptoms. If you notice any of these consult you doc immediately.
