Brief Answer:
Syrup

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Based on the description provided, I suspect it to be allergic cough.

You can give her SYP ASCORIL D 10 ml in the night or two times a day. This will provide her relief.

Cough of three months duration should not be ignored, You may have to get her consulted by a pulmonologist.
