Suggest Treatment For Fever And Lingering Cough

My duaghter, age 11 went to the dr s twice last week and was tested for flu or bacterial infection but only had a virus. She had a cough that still lingers and fever. Her fever has disappeared and we thought she was recovering, but today she has been dizzy and lost her balance. Is this something that can be attributed to a virus or should I be taking her to the drs for another checkup?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY.
Everyone has a flu or a bad cold once in a while, so a viral infection usually isn't serious. Of course it can be very bothersome and unfortunately there isn't any properly effective medication to cure viral infection, antibiotics aren't effective.
Only Contact a doctor:
Complaints lasting more than 7 days
Fever longer than 5 days
I do not link this with the previous episode.You should take her for examination.
HOPE THAT HELPS.
