Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems your daughter has caught cold. Children usually have mixed viral and bacterial infection and hyper reaction in form of high fever. If she vomited syrup, you try to use adol 125 mg/acetaminophen/ suppositorium per rectum. From home remedy: 1 teaspoon tulsi juice 3 times is very helpful for decreasing temperature and increasing immunity. Try to keep her hydrated with plenty of hot water or ginger and lemon tea. Give her Sualin (1 tab), 3 times for resolution, you can do powder from tablet and give to her. If you will not receive effect you can add antibiotic azithromycin, for example azilide.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Svetlana Shrivastva
