Suggest Treatment For Persistent Cough

Hi, I've got a cough that will not go away, it feels like my eyes are about to explode (though no ruptured vessels yet). The major issue is I'm about 6hr drive from anyplace that can sell me a chest decongestant and/or cough suppressant. What I have in my arsenal is a single Benadryl extra strength total, cyclobenzaprine, Advil liquigels, aleve, and tums... I'm pretty sure mixing all together isn't safe. So, am I up a bad creek without a paddle?

HI
Well come to HCM
Most of the allergic cough comes around on its own in very rare condition this require treatment, only thing is it takes little more time even with the antihistamine this could take some time, no need to treat this condition with multiple drugs, just combination of two molecules would be okay and that is
1) Tab Loratidine with Pseudoephedrine three times in day
hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
