You can try giving her some Benadryl in case this is allergy related. See here for info, and scroll down on the article for dosing information : https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/benadryl/ If that isn't helping within the next few days or if she is vomiting, having diarrhea, having any difficulty breathing or if she's lethargic or not eating, take her to your vet. thanks for asking PetCoach!
