Pulmonologist 's  Response
It feels like she had some viral infection and hence the congestion and cough.
However if the colour of the sputum is yellow then its worth giving her an antibiotic. If she is 7 an antibiotic like aziyhromycin 200 mg daily for 5 days
Also give her steam inhalation to relieve congestion and the expectorate sputum
