4 year old with dry cough for 4 weeks

My 4 yr old had a virus and developed a cough then and has had a cough on and off for about 4 wks. But it started getting worse yesterday and is worse at night when she lays down. Took her to Dr. today and they think it could be allergies. Poor thing had her blood drawn today to test her for allergies. She looks really peeked around the eyes and her cough sounds like it is straining on her throat and probably her chest muscles, because it takes alot out of her to cough. Asthma set off by allergies is what I am thinking. Need any adivice that one can give.

Please give her three doses of Pulsatilla 30c at a gap of 4 hours for two days and report back after 15 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 1 drop in some 10 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 15-20 minutes before or after taking medicine.
