Hi,Madhuri,
Thanks for query.
Your daughter seems to have viral infection.
It is possible that she might get infected from day care center.
You have given medicine but to give antibiotic without consulting a doctor is not at all advisable.
Do not go for self medication.
Consult your doctor and she may require some blood tests or x ray chest.
After reports go for treatment accordingly after your doctor's prescription.
Ok and bye.
