One medicine is cough expectorant and other is cough suppressant, simultaneous use is not recommended. Hard to believe the combination of medicine you are using. Kindly Consult again for better combination of medicine.

Sometimes the cough can be due to some foreign body too in the airways. Ideally a CXR is recommended to rule out this and it will also guide in diagnosis of cause of cough.
