Hi welcome to HCM...
It looks like viral infection for which symptomatic management done ...
Drink more water ...
Give her decongestent like phenylephrine or cetrizine ....
Steam inhalation given three times a day...
Salt water gargles done ..
Avoid excess spicy foods ....
For runny nose if needed oxymetazoline nasal drop can be given ...
If rash increases on body than chicken pox like infection has to be ruled out ...
Take care ...
Advise : consult pediatrician or physician ...
