Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Any cough syrup you are having, but one cough syrup is enough to help as all contain more or less the same thing.
Your doctor might have prescribed other than cough syrup like antibiotic, bronchodilator, etc.
Ask your doctor and discuss.
Ok and take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ramesh M.Vachharajani
