Dear Mam
See this kind of dry cough is usually allergic , specially if without a fever.
If you hear any wheezes or see any breathing difficulty , you must take him to a doctor.
Anti histaminics will help him.
I think you can wait for next 2-3 days and continue with the same medications under your doctor s guidance.
If your child gets fever , wheeze , breathlessness , take him to a doctor.
Stay Healthy
