Hi,


this must be mostly viral.


For cold you can give her sinarest syrup or triominic syrup.


For nose block you can use otrivin pediatric nasal drops 1-2 drops in each nostril 3 times per day.


If there is fever you can XXXXXXX paracetamol syrup.

If by 2 days she does not improve show her to pediatrician.

Good luck
