If you can't reach a vet, your options are somewhat limited in terms of treatment or diagnostics for the described situation. The first thing I would do in order to see how uncomfortable she truly is, is offer her something to eat that she normally would not be able to resist. If she won't take that, it is likely that she is truly in a great deal of discomfort. The sneezing and rashes around the lips makes me think she may have rubbed her face in something that caused some irritation. I would be interested in know if she currently has a fever as well. If you have a thermometer available, see if you can obtain a rectal (of armpit but this is not nearly as accurate) reading. Any reading above 102.5 is considered elevated. Loss of appetite, failure to eat or drink, and sneezing altogether could means a host of different possibilities. Without true diagnostics, there is really no way of telling what the problem is. I don't know what the prescriptions laws are in Pakistan, but if you are able, I would try to obtain an antibiotic, an anti-nausea medication, and an anti-histamine to try and control the symptoms. She needs to be well enough to take care of her kittens too. I hope this is helpful.
