If she is already on antibiotics, she will be fine in the next few days. We take some 7 to 10 days to develop immunity against new strains of virus.
By the way, let me tell you, antibiotic is not helping her at present. Doctor has prescribed it only to avoid secondary bacterial infection, just in case.
Ideally, one should not take any antibiotics for the first 10 days of cold and cough bout. Only if its proved through culture that there's a bacterial infection, the right drug may be administered

Phosphorus should have worked if she was not on antibiotics.
I reckon you should wait for some days till the course is over and the concentration of chemicals in her blood reduce.
If she doesn't get well even after that and the symptoms remain the same, you can try PHOSPHORUS 200C only three doses, each dose 12 hours apart.
