Pediatrician,  's  Response
I understand your concern. If there is no relief with ventorlin I would consider allergic cough especially as she had nose block and itching. My suggestion is to start her on a Levocetrizine and montelukast syrup or pediatric tablet based on her age and weight. As you have not mentioned the condition after using ventorlin I cannot draw a definite conclusion. IF there is relief with ventorlin at night the cough is cough variant asthma which is common in many children called Hyper reactive airway disease. Otherwise it can be allergic cough which I have seen responding well to montelukast and cetirizine combination. Regards and get back .
