Hi... By what you quote it seems that initially your child has cold but now she has developed wheezing. In wheezing there is increased cough episodes at night and early morning, usually child requires nebulisation in wheezing. I suggest you to go to the pediatrician again and get the chest examined. Till then continue the cough syrup.
I hope this has helped you. Take care.
