Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. It is better to take her to your doctor now as in younger kids this will be severe and should be treated early. Early antibiotic therapy is better in such case also. Give her warm fluids like warm chicken soup with pepper, lemon tea etc. Vitamin C chewable tablets also will be helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
