Your described symptoms sound like allergies, in case her oral intake is decreasing and she is lazy and lethargic, you should visit to a doctor.
In meanwhile nebulize her with Ipratropium 500mcg 3-4times a day, and Ventolin 1mg 3times a day. And give her syrup Cetrizine 5mg at night time. This will take care of symptoms.
If she gets worse do visit a doctor as soon as possible.
May she get well soon, have a nice day ahead.
