Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* As the intensity of cough is more, I suspect underlying lower respiratory tract infection after cruise journey.
* In our clinic, I recommend oral or intravenous antibiotic, decongestants with supportive care to cure at earliest.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
