For a healthy child, "a cold" - runny nose, congested nose, sneezing - can be treated at home with symptoms reliever medicine like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, rest and lots of fluids. These symptoms should go away in less than a week.
Your daughter will need to see a doctor if these symptoms persist more than 10 days, or your daughter has difficulty breathing, or if she's not able to keep down fluids.

If she has complications like very high fever, difficulty breathing, signs of pneumonia.
