Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain it seems that your daughter has a viral infection leading to symptoms of congestion and fever that are typical of viral infection..
The sores over the tongue seems to be apthous ulcers and are commonly seen secondary to infection..
Nothing to worry as the virus will complete its cycle and the infection will subside..
You can take a short course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine and tylenol to reduce fever..
Decongestant nasal sprays and steam inhalations can relieve..
Do warm saline gargles..
You can gargle with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine to relieve pain in ulcers..
Take multivitamins.
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Maintain a good oral hygiene and take plenty of fluids..
Take a soft diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
