Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Looking at the hematological reports, I do not find any abnormality enough to call it a infectious disease. Maybe now she is in recovery stage.
Other causes of cough like allergy also needs to be ruled out.
If cough is productive, sputum examination (test and culture) would be helpful in identifying the organism and also sensitivity of antibiotics.

These details are insufficient. If you can provide with type of cough, association with cold or fever etc, I can help you more.

Any further queries, happy to help again.
I find this answer helpful
