Brief Answer:
A viral situation mostly

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in Ask the Doctor

As you explain the situation this is a viral situation which has affected both the airways and the gastrointestinal tract.

The kind of cough you prescribe it has an allergic component too and for this despite the current treatment you can safely add antihistamine drugs such as.Telfast 180g tb befor sleeping time for some days.

Regarding the stomach Enterogermina is a supplement with normal biotic flora of the intestine and it helps in normalisation of its movement.

Also painkillers such as paracetamol or Ibrufen can be used safely too.

No worries it will pass around a week maximally.

Hope to have been helpful
