It is possible. It's called stress urinary incontinence and it is the most common form of incontinence, especially in women, the elderly and small children. Bladder leakage stops when the coughing stops. If the condition persists, it is more likely to be urge incontinence.

Your best bet is to visit your doctor to discuss ways to help your daughter.
