I got oatmeal baths when I was little. Avoid aspirin. I would ask a pediatrician too because I am more of an adult only doctor.
Assuming your daughter is under 18, time and maybe some oatmeal baths to help with the itch. If this appears to be a severe case (i.e. there is substantial rash and/or there are blisters on the face or near the eyes), please get seen by your primary care or at an urgent care.
