Hi welcome to health care magic...
You are having productive cough...
You are taking cough suppressant for that..
In productive cough it should not be given...
You might have mild bronchitis infection...
For that your auscultation done first and if needed x ray can be taken....
After your work up if needed suitable antibiotic full course can be given....
CBC, throat swab like investigation done according to need....
Avoid excess spicy and fried food..
Take care
Advise :Pulmonologist or physician consultation for examination and further work up
Hope this will help
