Are Claritin And Advil Effective In The Treatment Of Chronic Cough?

My son is visiting. He has dad a persistent hacking type cough x2 weeks with some improvement. Originally experienced some bleeding with the cough and saw a MD in CA who prescribed an antibiotic but thought was most likely viral. He currently is taking claritin and Advil believing it might be allergy related?
