Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As your symptoms are improving with the days and the cough syrups, it may be due to narrowing of the terminal bronchioles.
In this condition patients starts with short cough and it becomes longer and deeper as the symptoms are improved with the syrup, it may be having bronchodilator.
Nothing to worry practice some breathing exercises like taking deep inspiration and holding for a while and expiring that air slowly, will improve the condition.
Thank you.
