Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of running nose and watery eyes which seems to be due to mainly upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician once. Doctor may order certain test like nose or throat culture and test , blood test and chest X-ray to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other condition like viral infection. Get pulmonary function tests done as well to check extent of infection and start treatment accordingly. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , anti inflammatory and decongestants. You should take cough expectorants as well. Use mist humidifiers in room. Do warm saline gargles.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
