General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello!
The symptoms you described might be related to a viral infection.
You don't need to worry,usually it is a self-limiting condition that can last 1-2 weeks.
No specific treatment is needed.
She just need to rest,eat healthy foods,drink plenty of fluids(if is necessary give her oral rehydration solutions O.R.S that you can by in a pharmacy).
Give her Ibuprofen or Tylenol every 6 hours in case of high fever.

If this symptoms seem to get worse,very high fever that won't seem to get down with medications or if these symptoms last more than 1-2 weeks you should consult a physician.

Hope my answer has helped.
Take care.
