She has to eat solids also and the onus is on parents. Get her examined by a pediatrician to rule out medical problems. Regarding the cough problem, looks like she is allergic to Bangalore air or she is cross infected repeatedly in daycare or KG. Anyway she requires a consultation with a pediatrician.
