Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern. If your daughter has only dry cough then you can give syp. ambrolite d and if it is associated with fever, then give syp. wikoryl as it contains paracetamol. The dose should be as per her weight. Kindly follow up if you have any query. I think this will clarify your concern. Take care.
