Hi..
From your description I understand your child has got a laryngopharyngitis which is an inflammation of the throat and upper airways. You have mentioned it as barking cough.If it's severe enough associated with change in voice or her face turning reddish while coughing, I feel it's better to start her on antibiotics. If your country permits over the counter medicines you can give her oral azithromycin syrup (please send me her recent weight, I will tell you the dose). You can give syrup PHENERGAN (drug name: promethazine) 5 ml thrice daily along with the antibiotic. I would be glad to help you further regarding her condition.
