Agree with misdee - try and prop her head end up iyswim to help her breathe.

ds2 and ds3 have both got coughs at the moment and they are only v. occasionally coughing in the day and more at night - that's very normal.

If the GP has listened to her chest and it's clear then there is no infection so I don't think I'd be worried unless it was very persistent and didn't clear up in a week. Then I'd go back I think.

Don't think you need to worry though.
