Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

If i was your treating physician , i would recommend over the counter cough syrups like:

1. Syrup Grillinctus (contains Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Guaiphenesin, Ammonium Chloride) 1 teaspoon (5ml) three times a day for 1 week. It can cause mild drowsiness. Avoid driving after taking this medicine. It is to be taken when symptoms of cold are present.

2. Please do warm water gargle twice daily.

It is relatively safe and has no addictive ingredients.It will give symptomatic relief.

3. It looks like you are having symptoms from cold weather. Please take precautions from cold and avoid dust and pollution.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
