Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

The fluid accumulation could refer to fluid collecting in the sinuses. This can occur with upper respiratory tract infections (infections involving the nasal passages, ears and sinuses).

Sinus congestion can result in a headache.

Your daughter's doctor may suggest the use of antihistamines, pain killer and decongestants to help.
Decongestants can be oral or topically applied to the nose.

Another course of antibiotics may be given.

The application of warm compress to the face and a humidifier may also help to release some of the congestion and pain.

I hope this helps
