HI

Thanks for posting your query .

Cough is either due to infection or allergy in the throat or in the Nose. So she is either having problem in the throat or nose and its either infection or allergy . This has to be found out and treatment has to be initiated as per the cause.

Simply giving Cough syrup will give a temporary relief but not a permanent cure . Kindly consult a Pediatrician and get her evaluated .

Hope you find this information useful.
Any clarifications you are welcome .

Regards.
