Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Please note down the symptoms as ,
cough, sneezing, running nose, tears from eyes, itching over face, ( post nasal discharge may be or may not be).
All these symptoms are an indication allergy due to mite , dust, pollen , sudden fall or rise of temperature, smokes, fumes fine dusting powder.
In my opinion your daughter have got allergy and this cough as you mentioned in your query may be due to allergy .
In allergy there develops bronchoconstriction ( congestion) and there develops wheezing or whistling sound from nose or lungs.
So this is a common feature and please don't take tension.
Whenever your daughter get this type of infection consult an allergy specialist and give her simple bronchodilator + antihistamine .
No need of any antibiotics.
Avoidance important , of above mentioned items.
Good luck.
