Pediatrician,  's  Response
Most of the cough in children of this age is caused by certain viruses and such infections often recurr. It generally has an allergic component. It is not that she is allergic to certain things and hence montair LC (monteleukast + levocetirizine) is being given. It is simply to reduce the allergic reaction of cough. Your doctor has done the right thing. Also give the child steam inhalation. The water in form of vapour will reach deep into the lungs and help in diluting the cough and give your child relief.
