It entirely depends on what she has. If her cough is due to allergies, you won't get anything from her at all because allergic reactions (coughs, etc) aren't contagious. On the other hand, if she has mono, it could take several weeks for symptoms to show up in you.
And it is also entirely possible that your immune system will fight off whatever it is without it causing any symptoms. Try taking some extra vitamin C for the next couple of days and getting extra rest.

Its not guaranteed that you will get sick. It depends how good your immune system is. You can keep it up by taking vitamins, especially C. Hope this helps!
