Hi,
Your daughter might have upper respiratory tract infection mostly due to viral infections of pharynx,sinus,larynx, epiglottis or bronchitis.

You can do some routine blood tests with sputum examination and chest X- ray to have confirmed diagnosis as per your Paediatrician's advise.

Anyway,she should be given oral antibiotics (quinolones or macrolides) in full course for about 7 days with bronchodilators (beta agonists, anticholinergics) syrup and nebulizers with steam inhalation to get rid off complete infection from throat or chest.

Consult paediatrician for further advise.
