Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your daughter is having chronic cough (not responding to the routine antibiotics). She is also having enlarged axillary lymphnodes.
All these suggest lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) more.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and Chest x ray.
Chest x ray is needed for the diagnosis of LRTI.
If infection is there then she needs higher antibiotics, anti inflammatory and antihistamine drugs. Don't wait at home, consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
