Absolutely!: If the cough has been there nonstop for that long, it's time for her to see her doctor. There are a variety of causes of persistent cough, and each is treated differently from the others; the only way to know which it is would be to have her examined. I hope you find the cause easily and that she feels better soon !

Yes: List of causes for the prolonged coughing is lengthy. Detail history and thorough physical exam are essential to sort these out.

Yes: Has she had an chest xray? Some times children are prone to swallowing or aspirating objects. They might not even recall the incident.
