Brief Answer:
Possibility of allergic sinusitis is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of allergic sinusitis is more.
So tell her
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep herself hydrated.
2. Do steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
3. Avoid oily and spicy food, avoid junk food.
4. Take broad spectrum antibiotic like levofloxacin or azithromycin.
5. Also take antihistamine (levocetrizine) and anti inflammatory (paracetamol) and anti allergic (montelukast).
She will mostly improve with all these in 5 days. If not improving, consult ENT doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
