Thanks for the query
It appears from the description that your daughter has an allergic bronchitis (hyperactive airway disease).
Dilosyn and Coscopin are cough suppresents and will not be of great help. Moreover no cough syrups will solve the problem,as they will suppress the cough for sometime with added sedation.
she requires bronchodilators preferably in the inhaled form.
A visit to a doctor can be of immense help to confirm the diagnosis.
