Hello,
The symptoms of your daughter seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection.
I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Paracetamol syrup for the fever.
The steroid may help to relieve congestion. They do not interact with seizure medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
