Suggest Medication For Dry Cough

Hello, I have been fighting an on and off again cough for about 2 months. A chest x-ray showed pneumonia and the doctor thought I may have bronchitis as well. I was prescribed a type of amoxycillin that had an acid mixed in and for the first time, I actually finished the prescription (even though I felt better). I now seem to have a dry cough with very little production. But the cough smells like blood or iron. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
