Specializes in Infectious Disease

This sounds like a somewhat prolonged viral infection, perhaps with an allergic component. Probably not dangerous at all, but discuss with the pediatrician and follow her advice. If she doesn't have clear answers or seems uncertain, feel free to ask for second opinion from a pulmonary (lung disease) or infectious diseases specialist. Good luck.
