Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Your daughter having bronchitis or bronchiolitis like infective condition of respiratory tract. ... Mostly in child it is because of virus... You are given correct treatment that is aerosol like bucolic and steroid nebulization as cough and wheezing that is bronchospasm present. Prophylactic definite antibiotic also given. Give her more fluid and semisolid balanced diet. She will gradually recover ... Her vitals regularly checked ... Take care.
