A child who is given antibiotics very often will need them more and more as they suppress the body's natural immunity. Both you and the doctor are jointly responsible for this situation. You are responsible because worry for your child makes you seek the doctor every so often. The doctor is responsible because he cannot withstand your pressurising him to prescribe strong drugs. Be aware of this trap.
As you said, you are also using Ascoril in addition to the antibiotic. Why ascoril? Does she have more than a simple cough and cold? Is there fast breathing? Phlegm (productive cough)? If those problems are present, then she can keep getting this problem every month or even more frequently.
You should go back to the doctor and request him to do tests on your daughter to understand the problem better. They should consider referring you to a senior pediatrician, a pediatric chest physician or an allergologist.
