Toddler chronic cough! Help!

My DD is 2 in May and has been coughing non stop for the last 48 hours. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's every 30 seconds and all day and night. She did have a temperature yesterday but hadn't since.

I didn't sleep a wink last night and it's been relentless again today, and I'm heading into another sleepless night. I've tried everything but I'm hoping someone can help me. I feel shaky I'm so exhausted. DD is just as bad, so ratty and her poor body must be aching. I can see she is just as drained as me 😢

I've tried
Propping her cot up
Neurofen/calpol/calcough/tixylix
Saline drops to stop the post nasal drip
Inhaler (she was prescribed one for a similar cough a few weeks ago)
Calpol plug in
Honey
Humidifier (seemed to make it worse)
Fresh air

Seriously nothing is stopping it. Pls help 😭

We’ve had this in our house, little sleep - it meets all the symptoms of Whooping Cough for us on the NHS website

We’ve had all our vaccines too

Call 111 for advice they may want to check her.

Just seen your message was from yesterday, I hope your daughter is feeling better today 🤞🏻
