Get her evaluated by pediatrician. Young children get recurrent cough and cold due to viral infection / reflux. In that case they will need comforting measures in form of humidified air/ honey syrup or antireflux measures if required. You need to look for breathing difficulty . If there is breathing difficulty, bluish discolouration or irritability or poor activity immediately consult doctor.
