Brief Answer:
Use mucolytic with bronchodilator

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.

It seems that you are suffering from allergic cough and the weather or environment of India was the cause.

Use of a mucolytic preparation along with bronchodilator will help. You may need to consult a GP for getting this medicine if not available over the counter.
Also use a proton pump inhibitor for few days.

In case the problem persists, please consult an ENT.
