Brief Answer: Anti histamines+ Anti-tussive syrup Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Thanks for your query. The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to Respiratory tract infection. The medications as prescribed by your Doctor are Taxim (an antibiotic, to tackle the infection causing agent), Montak (pharmacologically Montelukast, to protect against allergies) & Dolo 650 mg (analgesic-antipyretic, for management of fever). Please continue them as advised. Symptomatic relief from cough can be obtained with intake of anti histamines like Allegra and anti-tussive syrup like Dextromethorphan preparations. So, kindly consult your treating Doctor & get a prescription for the same. Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status and avoid exposure to cold, dust & other allergens. Wishing you a good health. Please let me know if I need to clarify further. Take care.
