Hi. I can understand your concern. It must be a viral infection try stem inhalation and warm salt water gargling. Also give her drink lots of fluids and fruits rich in vitamin c like mausambi, orange etc which will help come over the infection faster. If her cough does not settle she will need chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
Don't worry, she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Expectorants are of two types:
mucolytics: which thin out tenacious mucoid secretions in the airways
mucokinetics or “expectorants”: they help the clearance of mucus by making coughing easier
both should not be prescribed in dry cough as they are known to aggravate cough.
However, wet cough is due to the secretions in the airways and should never be suppressed. Mucokinetics are used in this case which makes coughing easier.
Mucokinetics are not combined with antitussives....more

Though it is not flawless but your doctor must have judged according to your condition. Believe in him. However you may adopt certain home remedies and ayurvedic treatment too if you like.

Hi lybrate-user!
you can use steam inhalation with karvol plus. But consult a pulmonologist / ent surgeon before taking any medication. Avoid taking cough syrups without doctor's advice.
If you get such cough cold frequently you must get checked up to rule out allergic respiratory diseases, asthma, rhinosinusitis. So visit your specialist soon.

If your cough has become better and there is no associated fever or any other symptoms then you can discontinue the medicine and do saline gargles two three times a day also take steam inhalation twice a day I am sure you will be better in a few days.
