To help with her breathing, sit in front of a humidifier with her for awhile.
For her fever, talk to her ped. and see what medicine they recommend.
For her runny nose, use a bulb syringe to suck the snot out so her nose isn't clogged or running down her face.
Try to get her to sleep as much as possible. Your body fights infection better when your asleep so the more she's asleep, the more her body will heal.
If all else fails, call the doctor.

You need to call the pediatrician now. And if the fever is very high, you may need to take her to the emergency room. It is not safe for you to guess the amount of paracetamol or acetaminofen you should be giving her, she is too little, the doctor needs to tell you the exact amount based on her weight and height. I had my baby sleep strapped in his car seat next to my bed when he could not sleep because of his nasal congestion. It helped him a lot. Oh and also using saline drops in her nose and the suctioning bulb. I also prepared steam inhalation baths in the bathtub, and tried to keep him well hydrated.

They cannot blow their noses until they are 2 or 3 years old......
Regular aspirators do not work.....
you have to get the baby vac.......available on the website or at the baby/toddler shows (that's where I purchased mine)
they use this in hospitals.......
http://babyvac.com (in the U.S.)
http://babyvac.ca (in Canada)
this helps prevent further infection like ear or sinus infections....
clears them right up.....
I love this thing!! It works! and my daughter is so much better....
for now keep your baby upright so it's easier for them to breathe........and try some Vick's.......put a layer of Vaseline then the Vick's.......unless you have Baby Vick's vapo rub......
also bathe them in the Johnson's Vapo Bath......and I believe there is cream for that too......
use a humidifier as well to moisten the air.......like Vick's Vaporizer and SALINEX too.
Hope this helps.

Please go to the doctor. Even if you do not have insurance, the doctor has to accept you. If you are near a hospital, go the emergency room. THIS IS SERIOUS,,,,

If it was my child, I would be on the phone with their ped. and taking her to the E.R. Good Luck!
