Hi,
She can take Paracetamol 500mg as needed and also advised to do steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil if available. Please advise her to remain warm, avoid cold food items and exposure to cold air. If symptoms are persistent then a physical examination and further management is advised.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
