2 year olds can and do get RSV easily and usually have a mild case, more intense than a simple cold but not as bad as young infants. If they don't have underlying lung problems few (like 1/20) get a worrisome case.

She is susceptible, and good hand washing, wiping surfaces is recommended. A Flu and COVID-19 vaccination are recommended as indicated. Watch for signs of cough, wheezing and flu like symptoms.
