Have you ttied giving her her blue inhaler regularly?... the cough could be an "asthma" cough or it could be the virus causing a "cold cough"...

But my little one (she's 2) takes clenil two puffs twice a day all the time, then when she's I'll we give her ventolin every 4 hours (only while she's awake)... which usually keeps us out of an ambulance and her cough goes as quickly as it starts and the virus burns itself out and shesee back to her michevious self

Also are you sure she has no other allergies and it'seems not post nasal drip playinget Havoc? .... dust mites/ molds are common allergies and both are busy this time of year
