Hello, thank you for using HCM,
I read your question and I understand your concern.
Your baby might be having a pneumonia. If fever has lasted more than 3 days, and like you are describing it is getting worse, these means that is serious.
I would suggest to consider taking her to the pediatrist or ER so someone can check her lungs and do a physical examination.
Meanwhile use saline drops for her nose, give acetaminophen 10-15mg/kg weight for fever.
Hope she heals fast.
Let me know if you have other questions.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
