Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection.

I suggest using a mucolytic to relieve the cough such as Mucinex.

I also suggest to drink liquids and eat a healthy diet.

If the cough continue, it can probably be related to a bacterial infection and need the treatment with an antibiotic.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards!
