Hi,
The signs of your daughter are indicative for upper respiratory tract infection due to a common cold or viral infection most probably complicated with bacterial infection.
She in only on the 3rd day of Amoxil. When drugs are taken orally, they will need up to 3 days to see improvement.
I suggest to keep monitoring your child's temperature, give her Amoxil as directed. If still no improvement after the 3rd day, then, consult with the pediatrician again.
All the best
