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.

I am glad for ur response. Thank you. I would like to add this note that since 2 days Iam giving her steaming before bed time and it seems to help. I also changed her dancing exercises to jumping and jogging type. Her doctor adviced antihitamine and bronchodilator syrup. But Iam worrid about prolonged usage of cough syrups. She is tired of inhalers. Is there anything else apart inhalers?
