Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Your daughter has a habit of smoking at an early state. She needs to stop it to have relief from cough. No one should smoke inside her room or close to her. Please mention whether she gets cough frequently during night time. Please mention whether any of your family member is having asthma. Please mention the inhalers taken. Please mention whether she has done ECHO (echocardiogram) for murmur. If yes, then kindly share the reports. For now, she can take syrup Lorin 5 ml (Loratadine) once daily for five days, and Salbutamol nebulizer solution 0.5 ml mixed with 2 ml of normal saline. She needs to use Nebulizer every six hours for three days.
