Acute cough lasting for few days to week is usually not related to allergy and may be secondary to viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can use cough syrups and steam inhalation for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
