Brief Answer:
You can use Dextromethorphan
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
I checked and there is no interaction between the drugs you are taking and benzonatate.
Anyway, if you still do not want to use it another cough suppressant I suggest its Dextromethorphan 20 mg every 8 hours. In general it comes in combinations with Guaifenesin 200-400 mg mg every 8 hours which is an expectorant.
Drink plenty of fluids and also teas with honey and vit C.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
