Brief Answer:
You are having mostly URTI.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, I think you are having upper respiratory tract infection ( URTI ).
The most common cause for this is viral infection.
Most of the viral URTI s are self limiting and usually subside in 7-10 days.
So along with drugs you are taking, try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid oily and spicy food.
2. Drink plenty of fluids. Keep yourself hydrated.
3. Warm water gargles 5 - 6 times a day.
4. Take sound sleep of atleast 8-10 hours.
If not improving in 5 - 7 days then consult doctor and you may need antibiotic.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.

Pls suggest if I need to change the medication or continue with the same as it seems current medicine is not helping out much in relieving cough and sound sleep is elusive
