Could be allergic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
From your description it could be possible that your child has allergic cough. It is better to get her examined and tested for allergies which include eosinophils, IGE , and chest X-ray and Mantoux .
You can discuss with your Pediatrician about these tests which can be useful in identifying allergy.
Wishing your daughter good health
Regards
Dr Arun
