Suggest Treatment For Ross River Fever

Hi, my 6 1/2 year old daughter seems to have the symptoms of ross river fever. I realise these are similar to flu symptoms but I know of a few people in our area who have been diagnosed with this virus. I will take her to the dr tomorrow but I was hoping for your advice and some peace of mind. Could you please confirm the symptoms and tell me how they do diagnose this and also the treatment. Are there any serious complications from Ross River Fever? I have given her some Nurofen, is there anything else I can do to make her feel better? Thank you for your time. Beck.
