Hello,
As per the symptoms, it is likely a bacterial or viral cause. It would be better if you mention the date when her symptoms started.As covid19 pandemic is going on, if the symptoms worsen despite the treatment then seeing a doctor in person would be the best thing.
If she has just started the treatment then it will take at least 3-4 days to improve her condition. Apart from this, make sure if there is any breathing difficulty she observes then make sure you go to the hospital and get her tested as per the doctor's advice there.
The head shaking might be related to any content in the medicines that she is taking, although if this persists for longer, its better to take her to the hospital.Some blood tests as well as imaging tests need to be done to find out exact reason along with all medical history.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
