Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptom of cold and shaking body in a child which is mainly because of lower respiratory tract infection and shaking is because of fever. Need not to worry about it. Symptoms resembling flu and normally takes 3 days for viral fever to go. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. If symptoms exaggerating go for blood and sputum test of child. If it is bacterial infection start with proper course of antibiotics. Till then give crocin 4 hrly. Acetaminophen is also effective and you can give that as well. Give child proper rest without any discomfort. Give water after every few mins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
