It's so hard when your little one is sick. The best thing you can do for her is give her as much access to the breast as possible. Make sure you are drinking lots of water and eating well as this will help you nourish her. You may find she sleeps better (and therefore so do you) in bed with you, even if you do not want to co-sleep in the long term. Also do not be afraid to keep giving her panadol (within the recommended dosage of course) if she has a temperature.
You could try taking echinachia as I think this will pass through your milk to her, but in the meantime the easiest thing to do is just comfort her until she gets better, and call the GP if she shows any signs of getting worse.
