Brief Answer:
Antitussive syrup is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern.

The cough is directly related to the recent throat infection .

The cough in your case needs to be suppressed at all cost.

For this I advise you to have Syrup TUsq D to be taken 3 times a day.

This has to be supplemented with antibiotics like Amoxiclav one tab twice day for 5 days.

This regimen will be very effective in treating your symptoms.

Please note these drugs have to be taken only under starict medical prescription.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
