Hello,
You may give her salt water gargling thrice a day. Use paracetamol syrup 15-20 mg per kg thrice a day. If no improvement you may need to start antibiotics according to baby body weight. Please consult with your pediatrician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
