hi , the age is very important and a good physical exam to assess the respiratory rate and if she got a difficulty of breathing or not .
in general a bronchitis or a pneumonia can cause cough for several weeks even after treatment with antibiotics due to the post viral airway hypersensitivity, you can give her fluids , avoid smoking around her , and a sinecod syrup might help
I hope this helps
