Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Well, It depends on how aggressive the cough is and how often does she cough. If you think a cough is too frequently, doesn't leave her to sleep, or to eat. Then, in this case, to go to the hospital. On the other hand, if a cough is not too often or doesn't seem to be serious you may try at home by using aerosol therapy with NaCl and with Paracetamol in case of temperature. In any case, if the baby has too many days with a cough seeing a doctor is the best choice.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
