Pediatrician,  's  Response
The symptoms are indicative of either allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis.
Pacifier if used shall be extremely clean and sterilized every time before use.
Watch for what might be causing allergic reaction and remove the source. If symptoms are severe go to a doctor for medication may be required.
Watch for flu as well, especially if she came in contact with a person who has/had flu
