Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
More details are needed in history and check up also. Looks like an allergic cough. Please consult directly with all reports. If she is not losing weight and development is normal, there is no major illness. Allergic cough can be controlled with inhalers

Cough in children takes time to subside, but usually won't last 7 months. If clinical examination and investigations are normal, the child will get better.
Next Steps
To be sure, check the following also
1)Do you have any history of bronchial asthma/ allergy in your family?
2) Is there anybody in your neighborhood with chronic lung disease like TB?

Cough takes time to reduce... Sometimes due to nasal secretion, the baby may cough which is more on lying down.
If the baby is putting on weight and playful.... You may need not worry much about cough.
However a details clinical examination will be reduced to understand the cause of cough

consider visiting the clinic
