Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection.
I recommend using mucolytics for a cough such as Mucinex.
If the symptoms continue I also recommend using antibiotics.
I suggest Augmentin.
It is a prescription medication, so you should consult your doctor before the treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
