Your duaghter is mostly suffering from viral fever as your history suggests and heart rate increases in case of infection not upto 180 as you have said but upto 140-150. For this you have to give her syrup zifi-cv 50 mg/5 ml twice daily or syrup co-amoxiclav 5 ml thrice daily with syrup cetrizine or syrup pheniramine 5 ml twice daily for common cold with syrup ibugesic-plus or syrup combiflam 5 ml thrice daily for fever. Do cold sponging as it will help in reducing her temperature.
