Suggest Treatment For Cough With Blood Stained Sputum In A Child

I took my 4 year old to see her doctor today. She coughing during the night and then I noticed there was blood about the size of a fifty cent piece and other smaller blood stains as well. He voice is raspy right now. The docotr told me it is a viral infection. There was no fever present, bp was in normal range. Her nose was not runny either. He said keep giving her the cough medicine and that s it. What if it happens again during the night?
