Hi,Thankyou for the Question

detailed answer...Since your daughter has not got other symptoms of any infection like fever,chest pain or sputum with cough,it seems she is having allergic response to some triggering factor,also change in weather can cause it.You may give her syp.albutamol 7ml three times for three days,it will be helpfull.If she gets fever or throatache ,she may need antibiotic course for 1 to 2 weeks.
