Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is no relation between teething and cough. Please provide any honey based cough syrup to the child. She needs antibiotics as amoxicillin two times. In addition, she needs steam inhalation. If the child develops breathing difficulty then take her to an emergency soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
