Hello,
It can be from infection and since being a child it can be from helminthic infestation as well.
These are typical signs of infection. You first feed give her antibiotic coverage of Amoxicillin syrup, paracetamol syrup for 5 days.
She will relieve. However, if symptoms continue then take her to the emergency room for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
