These symptoms could be one of many different viruses…COVID-19, flu, or a cold to name a few. I would recommend resting, drinking plenty of fluids and contacting your daughter’s doctor and yours if either of you get worse, or if have underlying medical problems. You may want to do a home rapid COVID test as that is one of the possibilities and numbers are not low right now.
