At 16 weeks, not every cough syrup or allergy tablet is considered safe in pregnancy, since some ingredients haven't been fully studied for this stage. Severe cough and cold are usually from a viral infection and settle on their own within a week or so, but the two products you mentioned need your obstetrician's or pharmacist's confirmation before you take either one.
Next Steps
Try steam inhalation, warm fluids, and honey in warm water for the cough meanwhile. Check with your obstetrician before starting any new medicine, including over-the-counter ones, given the pregnancy.
Health Tips
See your obstetrician sooner if you develop high fever, breathlessness, or the cough hasn't eased in a few more days.
