Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi....by what you quote I feel that your kid is suffering from bacterial rhinosinusitis. The symptoms are classical and it definitely needs antibiotics like Amoxclav for at least 10 days. I suggest you consult your pediatrician regarding this and get an antibiotic prescription as suggested.
One more suggestion is that she will need a imaging of her paranasal sinuses.
