She seems to be suffering from post viral cough which is common type of dry cough syndrome after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. She can take dry cough syrup, strepsils lozenges and steam inhalation for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
