Suggest Treatment For Persistent Cough Despite Taking Robitussin

My son who is 19 developed a rash on his face and started coughing two weeks ago. He is also tired and now takes an hr nap this last two days. I bought some benadryl cream and he used that for a few days and the rash is gone but the cough remains. Sometimes he can t stop coughing. Nothing coming up. No white spit or anything. Cough will stop for awhile and then start again. He uses Robitussin but that doesn t stop it.He has no other symptoms NO Congestions, No Fever, No Sore Throat or drainage, No swelling. Going to see our doctor in two days. Any Idea? Clue? THANKS!

Hello,

As you explain the history it might be an allergic cough. If it doesn't disappear with the last treatment than consult his doctor.

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

Take care
