1 year old croupy cough but not croup

Hi after some advice please!
My 1 year old daughter is perfectly healthy. She has no other symptoms apart from when she coughs it always sounds croupy. She doesn't cough much but when she does you hear it. Usually when she wakes up / eating / excitable.
I've been the doctors so many times and they always send me away saying she is perfectly fine. Nothing on her chest etc suggest its post nasal drip / teething. Usually they say its post viral which is could well be as she has had lots of colds / viral rash / broncilitis in december.
Its as if its her usual sounding cough ever since i can remember. I've googled so much and the only thing it closely resembles is floppy airways but she doesn't have the noisey breathing. Although she does snore.
Anyone else experienced this. I feel like i am becoming obsessed with it but other than that she has no other symotoms.
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Why does it matter if she’s well, growing properly and not having any adverse affects?
It probably is slightly floppy airways - it’s a scale so she might just have a very mild case. There’s nothing that needs to be done about it though so maybe stop wasting gp appointments if she’s otherwise completely fine
