Question?: Without know the age of your child or her situation..: Colds are very common in school aged children. The symptoms are as you described for your daughter. Most OTC "remedies" look to relieve some symptoms (mostly don't work). Generally sore throat lasts about 3 days, runny nose 7-10 days and cough 3+ weeks for your average viral illness. Visit your pediatrician for suggestions for symptom control

Have her see her: pediatrician. Her doctor can examine her & determine if she has an ear infection, sinus infection or viral infection. It also could be an allergy. Without seeing her, knowing her age or other history, it's hard to make a diagnosis.
