Has she been prescribed any medications? Is there a family history of allergy or asthma?
Night cough is usually seen in cases of asthma, GERD or gastro esophageal reflux disease and sinusitis due to the post nasal drip. Does she have a fever?
Does she have any other symptoms like breathlessness, reflux symptoms or heartburn or nasal symptoms like nasal discharge etc.
She should try steam inhalation, saline nasal drops and oral antihistamine medications and see if it helps with her symptoms.
If the cough still persists, it would be best to consult a pediatrician and also get a chest xray done to rule out a chest infection.
Let us know about how she is doing and if you need any other information.
Regards.
