hello. than you for writing us here.
its mainly due to allergy. she may have some allergy with things pike dust, or some fabric.
I would suggest her to take antiallergenic medicines for 5 days. Levocetrizine 5mg a day would be fine. she'll be alright as the course ends.
God bless you.
best regards,
Dr Gunjan
