Fever and chills are usually seen in initial 5-6 days in covid.However point of concern would be her oxygen saturation levels.Kindly monitor the oxygen level and keep a record.in case of deterioration ,you are advised to immediately contact the doctor, if oxygen levels are fine she can be on medication at home. I would also suggest to get her blood tests done
