Hello and welcome to HC!

I'm sorry to hear that your hamster is unwell.

Is her water bottle working ok? Could she be dehydrated?
That's my first thought because she accepted the fresh food but not the dry food.

The clicking sound could point towards a respiratory infection but i'm no vet so am speculating.

I heard about thyme tea but wouldn't rely on its healing properties myself.

Personally, i'd rather take my hamsters to the vet once too often than leave it too late.
