Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having bronchitis and mainly of viral origin.
This will take 2-3 weeks to cure the infection.
Continue with cough syrup to get symptomatic relief from cough.
Give her Montek LC daily one for about 10 days.
This will give good relief from her problem.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Ask her to go for deep breathing exercises.
Ok and take care.
