Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Yes you can give 5 ml of syrup Zyrcold and get her examined by a doctor to rule out bacterial infection . Keep good hydration by giving plenty of liquids . Saline gargles with lukewarm water can help in relieving pain .She can also take paracetamol for fever and pain .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

*If your child is allergic to any medicine , it should not be taken.
Wishing your daughter speedy recovery.
