Hi Nina,
Some sickness signs could be diaherea(eww!), redness, hair falling out, sneezing, couching, not eating, not drinking, not jumping around, not being as active as usual and there are many more.
If you are worried about some of her actions, just write me an email and I might be able to tell you whats wrong.
You can buy some small animal shampoo from your nearest petstore, buy many different brands and see which ones she reacts to better.
Guinea-pigs are vegetarians, anything other than fruit or vegetables is bad (apart from the grains which you can buy from the supermarket or petstore).
Some vegetables CAN be dangerous though, potatos and apples are not good.
I will give you some websites that you can visit for information about food:

People keep there guinea-pigs inside and outside.
I personally think it is better to keep them outside, I have done that with all my guinea-pigs.
I live in Australia, so it is ok to keep her outside.
Write me another email and tell me in which country you live in and the weather.
It is good to buy a wooden cage, resonably big with a top.
If you keep her outside, make sure it has a place where she can hide from bad weather.
I hope this helps.
If you have anymore questions please don't hesitate to ask.
