Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, she needs to be evaluated by a pediatrician as such chronic cough in an infant is not something to be ignored as pneumonia or lung infections need to be ruled out which are very dangerous in this age group. A chest X-ray may be needed. Chest examination and if allergic may need Terbutaline syrup and steam inhalations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
