See an Allergist: There are many possibilities food?Dust mites?Pets?But allergist would 1st take a careful history(ie., do allergies run in your family?Etc), &possibly due a few simple scratch tests(usually better than blood test & feels like a prick with a toothpick.Not needle). Sometimes no cause is found but allergist can help with simple treatment measures. We see this type of cough often...Don't worry.

Allergy medicine: I would give her some children's Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at bedtime and remove dust-collectors like stuffed animals from her room. If this does not help, see her pediatrician for other allergy medications. You do not need to put her through allergy testing yet, unless medications do not give her relief and you need to proceed to allergy shots.
