Hi,
By what you say I feel that could be a pertussoid cough or it could be respiratory syncytial virus-induced bronchiolitis.
I feel she might require medical attention.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
