Hi doctor,

Please advise
She is just taking inhaler twice a days. All other medciine course are over.

Need more information on her symptoms. Though difficult to say based on just this input, sounds like allergic cough. However, other causes of cough have to be ruled out before we call it allergic cough.
Next Steps
Please consult a pulmonologist online or offline for proper evaluation and treatment. I’m available for both
