Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Dry cough can be a sign of asthma. Your daughter may need an inhaler for nighttime. I think you should see the doctor again.

Another thing to try is steaming her in the shower for 1/2 hr or so before bedtime. Breathing the vapor sometimes relaxes the chest and opens airways.

But I think you should see a doctor.

It might be learned that she has drainage tickling her throat, and the doctor can suggest something like guaifenesin during the day to help move the congestion out. But a doctor would have to look and see if that is the issue.
