Hello,

She can have upper respiratory tract infection as per history. If vomiting and affected vision like compliant present then rule out meningitis like lesion. You need to investigate further with chest x ray, full CBC and CRP estimation. As condition is worsening she needs to be admitted in hospital and intravenous antibiotic given if needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
