Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
She might be having sinusitis and upper respiratory infection. For that, she needs to be classically treated with any antibiotics like amoxicillin, ampicillin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, etcetera.
All her symptoms will subside if full course of any antibiotics according to the body weight is taken. Ask her to take steam inhalation and cough syrups besides gargling with hot water in the morning.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
