Brief Answer:
You can use OTC dry cough syrups like Robitussin.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. You can use over the counter dry cough syrups like Robitussin. You can also take antihistamines like benadryl or cetirizine. In case of nasal congestion you can take nasal decongestant nasal sprays like xylometazoline (otrivin).

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
