Hi, Thanks for the query, but I am sorry to says that self medication is very dangerous and please don't take in future , if need. You know that Cofdex as its name indicates might contains Codein ( opium) that is not good for health and furthur habit forming drug. Amoxycycllin are not good because in my opinion you have simple common cold with allergic bronchitis so please consult a doc. He might prescribe some bronchodilators which will give you complete relief. Good luck for speedy recovery.
