Hi thanks for writing to us
From your description it looks like a viral infection which is very common in this season.
You can continue relent plus for a few more days . If fever and cold is better no need to worry . However if cough worsens or if she develops fever or throat pain or any other symptoms, she needs to be examined for chest or throat infection . Give warm liquids to keep hydrated . Avoid dust and smoke exposure .
