Hello,

At this point, without a good examination, it would be difficult to make any medical recommendations. Would recommend that your child be seen by a physician.

Thank you,

From your description, it appears that she has a viral infection. General support measures are indicated, i.e. rest, hydration, tylenol for the fever, limited use of oxymetazoline for the runny nose. She is about mid-way, should start to improve unless she gets a bacterial superinfection.
