Hi, Thanks for asking.
In my opinion you should visit the ER as soon as possible. Fast shallow breathing is a danger sign in a young child. She needs to be assessed for dehydration and lower respiratory tract infection.
You may also need some investigations like blood count, CRP, X ray chest, stool report.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
