Hi
Welcome to the HCM
The symptoms and the prescription she received suggests that she is suffering from allergic rhinitis. Don't worry. These medicines are safe and good treatment for the condition. I would also recommend to start her on montelukast for 1-2 months. It will help in improving her allergic tendency and cough.
Hopefully this will be useful.
Take care
