Brief Answer:
Start her on Syp. Montair LC kid

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. She will definitely show improvement with Syp. Montair LC kid as I suggested earlier. You may continue with Syp. Septilin (5 ml twice daily) and levolin nebulization (if required). If the coughs persist inspite of this then she may be started on steroid nebulization or metered dose inhalers after proper clinical evaluation.

Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
