Hi, very sorry to hear about your child.
Please don't ignore the fever if the temperature is above 100'F and continuous for 4 days. Only cold sponging might not help the condition. High fever associated with cold and nasal blockage are suggestive of flu, viral infection, common cold or respiratory infection. Keep her warm and well hydrated. Continue tepid sponging and also give antipyretics like Calpol or Meftal P depending on her weight. If it doesn't help, consult Pediatrician or Physician.
