Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that she has an upper respiratory tract infection leading to cough and cold and as it is viral in nature you need not to give her antibiotics so giving antibiotics like Azithral syrup is not needed..
You can give Levolin syrup and Nasoclear drops for relief..
You should give her steam inhalations and also use a humidifier in her room..
Make her sleep with head slightly raised and either in left or right lateral position as it will help in easing nasal drainage and ease breathing..
Do warm compresses on her chest..
Feed her with plenty of breast milk as it improves immunity and fight infection..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
