Brief Answer:
She will mostly need inhaled bronchodilators.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
By your history and description, the possibility of bronchospasm related cough is more likely.
Allergy-causing bronchospasm and this, in turn, causes a cough, mucus expectoration etc.
She will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Please let me know if this is her first-time symptoms or she gets in all winter or season change.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
