Cough: I would try taking an over-the-counter cough expectorant with a depressant you can ask the pharmacist for one and that should help

Cough: Most episodes of cough are caused by a mild viral infection that typically resolves in 3-5 days. If cough symptom becomes uncomfortable you can use simple over-the-counter cough medications, and remember to drink plenty of fluids to stay well hydrated. You should see a doctor if you start to get shortness of breath, persistent fever, or worsening symptoms, or if cough lasts longer than a week.
