What Do You Suggest For Sore Throat With Fever,hacking Cough And Runny Nose Even After A Visit To The Hospital?

My daughter (4) has been sick on and off for a few weeks now. I took her to hospital 2 weeks ago for a sore throat and high fevers for 4 days (103°); strep test and culture was negative. She got better, now she is sick again. It s been 3 days, hacking cough, runny nose... She has had a fever last two days but none today. However I m laying in bed with her right now and she won t stop shivering. And i don t know if this has anything to do with anything, but she woke up complaining that her foot hurts.. A complaint that s been daily for last week. I just don t know what else to do at this point; should I wait out the sickness or get her checked out again?

Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query.
I personally advised first Throat check up with the ENT specialist to rule out the oropharyngitis, tonsillitis and rhinitis and if necessary also go for the throat swab culture and antibiotic sensitivity.
Before test she may take broad spectrum antibiotic with nasal decongestant.

Thanks
