An upper respiratory infection of some kind is certainly a possibility. It sounds like she may have some inflammation that isn't usually present, Such a short respiratory tract makes pugs vulnerable to inhaled irritants and infections more so than other breeds of dog. I recommend getting her seen by your vet if the symptoms persist more than a few days and sooner if she develops signs of illness, such as a nasal or eye discharge, lack of energy and/or appetite. Also, with her rubbing her face more, her eyes are more vulnerable to injury and irritation than other dogs, so make sure she doesn't hurt herself rubbing her face.
