Post COVID coughing

Question

Post COVID coughing

Asked for Female, 4 Years

My 4 yr old son tested COVID negative after 17 days today and we are relieved. However, his coughing hasn't settled yet. It is mild and doesn't seem to be a major concern but I don't want to neglect smallest of issue concerning his health while he fought Corona successfully last 2 weeks. Plz advise if there is anything I need to do more ahead since he seems well to me but has mild coughing specially in the midnight and after he wakes up from naps. Also, complains of little pain in the throat. He was prescribed Allegra 3 days and then Zincovit for 2 weeks. Plz guide Doctor.
