Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
From your description fever has settled now.
So the chances of serious chest or other infections is less likely.
Post any respiratory infection cough can persist for a week.
This can be treated with warm liquids, saline gargling
I also advise ambroxol syrup at 5ml thrice daily to help in bringing out the secretions.
Try steam inhalation which will help her breathe better.
If still not improving consult your pediatrician.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
