Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would recommend taking Forte Kidkare Cough or Cold, Rescon DM.

You can take it as a syrup 10ml three or four times daily or as tablet 3 to 4 tablets per day.

It is and OTC drug containing chlorpheniramine/dextromethorphan/pseudoephedrine and you can take it without medical prescription.

It can help against the cough, nasal congestion and does not interact with your current therapy.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
