Hello, thanks for posting on HCM.
If she is having cough, fever and you suspect there might be a chest infection then you need to give her some antibiotic for the same.
The medications you mentioned are antihistamines and chest decongestants but you are not giving her any antibiotics which might clear her infection.
Presence of fever strongly suggests presence of infection so that must be taken care of.
I would advise you to consult your pediatrician as she might need a chest x-ray to look for severity of infection and need antibiotic according to her weight.
I hope I have helped your query.
Thank you
