Hi,
Cough during an acute viral infection (bronchitis) may last for few days to a week. If there is no chest pain or breathing issues, you need not be concerned.
Most cough syrup used in these case are made up of similar formula. If grilinctus is not helping much, you may try an alternative brand - Syp Ascoril D 5ml three times a day. Also consider steam inhalation and cough lozenges. They will provide some benefits.
Hope this helps. Le me know if you need clarifications.
