I have been taking omeprazole 20 mg twice a day since monday, i still have a cough, and need to clear my throat, can i take something else or wait?

You can try: otc cough suppressants containing dextromethorphan. If this does not work, or your cough returns after initial improvement, it is time to see your doctor.
