Hi sounds to me like she may have caught a cold, the trouble is it could turn into cat flu which can be very dangerous for a kitten. please my page about this here

A kittens immune system is not up to full stregth yet and so they do need a lots of extra care.
To be honest with you it really is worth taking this little one to see a vet just for a check up the vet will be able to advise as to their general health and how best to take care of her current condition.

I also have lots of pages on my site about bringing up kittens which you may find of further interest too here
