Daughter coughing non stop - asthma?

Hello

My now 10 year old daughter had a virus during the summer, lost her voice cooughing lots. When her voice came back it was very deep and croaky, then back to normal.

She has been constantly coughing since!

One GP said it was post nasal drip as she felt "stuff" dripping down the back of her throat.

Another said it may be asthma or allergies.

When she wakes up, her voice is very croaky.

She does not cough at all while asleep.

GP gave us a peak flow meter to use. As her results were pretty consistent, 230 - 250 he said she does not have asthma.

He gave her a nasal spray, Beclometasasone. This has made her cough worse.

Chest xray was normal.

Im at my wits end - I hate hearing her cough all the time.

ANy ideas please?

Thank you x
