Brief Answer:
Oral Benadryl syrup will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have worked through your query in detail.

Cough in your case need to be effectively treated.

I generally prescribe oral syrup of Benadryl 5ml thrice a day for 5-7 days.

This will help to normalise the cough.

In case if cough doesn't resolve after after 7 days, I advise you to go for a chest X-ray.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
