Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your daughter is having chronic cough (cough for more than 15 days) and not improving with routine cough medicines. So we should definitely rule out lung infection in her case.
Lung infection is common after cold in pediatric patients.
So better to consult good pediatrician and get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection.. She may need higher antibiotic and other supportive drugs.
Don't worry, she will be alright with appropriate drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
