Alexsmom,
It sounds like the pulmonologist is doing the appropriate tests to find out what is going on with you daugher. THe results of the cultures form the bronchoscopy will let the doctors know what type of antibiotics your daugher may need. I hope you daughter does not have CF but if she does the treatments she needs will help her. My daughter had a bronchoscopy when she was 2 1/2 years old for an exacerbation of CF. It was soo stressful, I remember. SHe did not have green secretions in her lungs, they were "milky white". Not all Cf'ers have green stuff in their lungs especially when they are so little. Is your daughter getting chest PT? Even if she does not have CF you could ask the pulmonologist if she should be having that done. It helps clear mucous, infection out of the lungs when you manually(my daughter uses the VEST) "pat" on their back to keep things moving. Also, increasing the albuterol treatments may help, of course ask the pulmonolgist first. Keep your head up!
