Brief Answer:
Home remedies and an expectorant may help.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Dry cough takes some time to recover. I would suggest she does warm water gargling and drink warm lemon juice with 1 tbsp of honey. It will help her soothe her throat and build immunity as well.
She can do steam inhalation and take syp tusq X 10 ml thrice a day for 3 days.
In case her symptom persists or worsens it is best to meet a pulmonologist for a detailed examination and treatment.
I hope this answered your query.
