My 18 month old has a persistent cough?

She started coughing about December 4th. It started out just during the night or naps, but now occurring more frequently during the day also. She seems fine otherwise. Nothing is coming up, just a dry cough. And when she has these spells, they sound horrible, like they would hurt in her chest. I called the doctor and they said since she has no fever there is no need in bringing her in. I am using the baby rub on her, as well as a humidifier. Anything else? What can I do to help her??

Update:

I don't think she is doing it for attention. She used to do that, but now you can see she is in distress when coughing
