Hi, thank you for posting.
I think that your granddaughter is affected by a seasonal flu. The virus has affected trachea(windpipe), and has caused cough.
To diagnose, she needs:
1- Complete blood count.
2- Pulmonary X-ray.
3- Urine test.
You should take her to a pediatric pneumologist.
Regards.
Dr. Behar.
