Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. You can give dilo dx for 2 more days if the symptom persist.
Does she have breathing difficulty. ?
Is the cough productive. ?
If productive what is colour of sputum. ?
colour of mucous from nose. ?.Is it yellowish. ?.
If there is yellowish discharge or yellowish sputum then antibiotics will be required. For that you should do a follow up with your doctor.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
