Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No these drugs are not enough for complete recovery.
Bronchiolitis is inflammation of small airways.
It is commonly due to infections.
And this inflammation causes bronchospasm.
So patient needs antibiotic (for infection), anti inflammatory drugs and inhaled bronchodilators (for bronchospasm).
She is not receiving these drugs. So better to consult pediatrician and discuss all these and start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
