As per report she seems to be having acute infection. She needs to take antibiotics, cough syrups and steam inhalation for faster recovery. X ray of chest may be necessary to rule out any lung infection
Next Steps
Consult nearby physician for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
