Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.....

According to history here your daughter having viral fever that can lead headache as constitutional symptom..
Dengue is prevalent in your region , so test for it by serological test for dengue by IG M antibody detection done....

Check for neck stiffness by touching your chin to chest ....
If it feels difficult to touch chin to chest , possibilities of meningitis like infection can be there for which lumbar puncture needed.

Symptomatic treatment done....
Antihistaminic drug can be given for congestion .
Drink more water.
Avoid excess spicy and fatty foods.
Steam inhalation also helpful in congestive symptoms...

Consult physician with keeping my answer in mind...
