What Causes Persistent Dry Cough At Night?

Allergic cough
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
This cough is allergic in nature, and the medicines you are taking are cough suppressants and not the anti allergics.
You would need to take a combination of Levocetrizine and Montelukast for this purpose.
Now as far as your query is concerned, you can take 10 ml of lophen in night time once only. You should avoid it 4th hourly in night, as it contains codeine which is a narcotic and can cause excessive sedation, constipation and addiction.
However, you may repeat the doses in the morning.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
