Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
She must be having pneumonia which can be viral or bacterial in origin. She needs to get clinically examined by a pediatrician immediately and proper medications are to be started. Children can develop respiratory complications within a short period of time. Even if she is comfortable its better to follow up with your doctor regularly. Food may include home cooked soft diet made with less oil. Also give her plenty of fluids.
