Detailed Answer:
Hello Mrs. XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query here.

You can give your husband Tab. Cetrizine 2 times a day, and it will take care of cough, however, if your husband develops any cold or fever then you would have to consult your doctor for a prescription of antibiotics.

You can use steam inhalation with vicks capsules as home remedy for cough.

Salt water gargling 3 to 4 times a day if there is any irritation in the throat.

Hope that answers your query.

Wishing your husband a speedy recovery.

Best regards
