She : She should be evaluated for asthma, as some children can have a cough as their only symptom. It is important to be sure she had the pertussis immunization and that she is up to date on that. If her symptoms persist, if she has fever, rash, shortness of breath or vomiting then she would need to be seen as an emergency.

Cough: Agree with prior opinion. Must also consider whether acid reflux is present.
