Is cough mild or more? If mild just do hot saline gargles. If more,
You can safely take tab azithromycin 500mg one daily for 3 days.
Dextromethorphan lozenges every 8hours for 3 to 5 days.
You can do gargles with listril mouth wash, 2 to 3 times daily.

Don’t take anything without prescription and avoid taking antibiotics on your own. Try home remedies (turmeric/ honey/ ginger)and gargles, if it doesn’t get better, you can take cetrizine and Guaifenesin(cough syrup) for 5 days. If it doesn’t get better, please consult.
