You should use honey in children on regular basis .
Children can't expel cough like adults.
You can give her ginger juice 1drop along with 1tsf honey twice a day.
Next Steps
Avoid spicy and processed foods as these decrease the immunity of children.
Health Tips
Keep her chest warm.
For further queries you can consult me.

Since how many days is she suffering. There maybe an infection. Also is she getting fever. In case there is fever there is a possibility of bacterial infection and also as the child is small accumulation of mucus may lead to congestion and difficulty in breathing. This may lead to pneumonia.
So first give a course of antibiotics later start immune boosting treatment in ayurveda to improve immunity and prevent these infections.
Next Steps
Don't give refrigerated foods, curds, any kind of fruits until the baby recovers. keep giving hot water, do steam inhalation, give warm oil massage to her chest and give hot water bag on sides of her chest to loosen the mucus
Health Tips
Consult online for immune boosting medicines and prevention
