I think you are right. You require an inhaler for sometime if the cough is bad.
Also as your problem is post nasal drip tricling down your throat and causing you a lot of cough, it will be wise to start a montelukast tablet like MONTAIR-LC 10 mg at night.
Take steam inhalations daily for 5 days three times regularly.
Drink plenty o0f water and have bath with warm water.
Avoid preserved and canned items.
