Cough may be due to viral infection or due to allergic bronchitis. Avoid cool water and cool environment.
Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling. Also, use tablet Monterleukast and Levocetirizine once a day after dinner may useful.
If symptoms not improved, please see a doctor, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
