She may be having post nasal discharge syndrome secondary to acute rhinosinusitis which is common type of nose and sinus infection. She may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
