What Causes Dry Hacking Cough In A Toddler?

My son who is 3.5 years old is having dry hacking cough with fever from the past 5 days. Sometimes he vomits too after having food. A local doctor gave him Augmentin Duo (Amoxycillin with Potassium Clavunate) and Dilo BM expetorant syrup (Ambroxol Hydrochloride with Terbutaline Sulphate and Guaiphenesin) but it is not at all helping. Throughout the day he coughs which is irritating him but during the night he sleeps well. Please help
