Frequent cold and fever can be common at this age, but weakness, dizziness and poor appetite may sometimes be due to anemia, poor nutrition or recurrent viral infections. Please get her examined once by a pediatrician. Basic tests like CBC/Hb may be needed. Meanwhile give healthy iron-rich diet, good sleep, fluids and avoid unnecessary antibiotics.

Frequent respiratory symptoms often indicate a developing immune system exposed to common environmental germs, seasonal allergies, or an asthma-related condition.Persistent weakness and dizziness, especially when paired with low appetite, are classic indicators of iron-deficiency anemia or nutritional gaps due to repeated illnesses.
Next Steps
kindly consult doctor
take flu vaccine
