Ask pediatrician: When changing or adding medicines it's best to ask your physician who prescribed the original medication what additional things you may take. Your physician knows the patient the best and can assess the reason for the cough and decide what is best for your four-year-old to take

Mgt: The cause of the cough should be determined. If she has nasal congestion, nasal saline rinses may reduce post nasal drip. She should blow her nose when there is drainage. In addition, if she has asthma or wheezing, Albuterol may be indicated. I agree a PCP follow up appointment can be booked.

Croup,bronchiolitis: your child probably has the adenovirus that can cause croup and bronchiolitis this will proceed despite the antibiotics because it is a virus keep a humidifier by her side so she can sleep better and if it worsens take her to her pediatrician so she can be treated with a nebuliser
