Vaporizer/time: Coughing is a protective reflex that allows the person to bring up irritants, mucous & debris from the deep airways. Studies in the US show little if any value of cough meds to kids under 6. A vaporizer helps moisten the air so cough can be looser. Her sleeping area may have irritants like fragrances, smoke, dust, etc., things that worsen a cough. Removing these will help.
