Hi,
The investigation should be done to detect the cause of a cough. You have given the name of antibiotic. Blood analysis can be done if there is eosinophilia then she can be given Hetrazan. Culture and sensitivity of sputum be done and most effective antibiotic can be taken. This is the best antibiotic for now.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
