Hi,
Thank you for your query.
The description provided by you suggests that your daughter is having an upper respiratory tract infection. As it has been 2 weeks now and it has worsened I suggest that you consult a doctor who would like to add an antibiotic along with a decongestant syrup. Though it is a good sign that the fever has subsided but it would be better to get investigations to be done to rule out any complications.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
You all three are suffering from an upper respiratory illness due to a virus most probably.
For the cough of your children you can a give a cough medication containing mucolytic agents like ambroxol in prescribed dosage for each individual.
But physical examination by a doctor is important to look at the throat and to auscultate the lungs for any infection.
Therefore I advise you to consult the pediatrician for examination of your children and for medications.
Hope I have answered your query.
