How Can Chronic Cough In A Toddler Be Treated?

Hi my kid is 2 years 6 months old, he is having cough . Night time he coughs because of which he will not be able to sleep for an hour or so ,later the cough decreases n he gradually falls asleep . For cough I have been giving him piriton cs ,now bcoz he had a fever 103 degree at night n morning immediately after waking up he started coughing very badly ,could even swallow water n puked it . So I took him to doc ,now doc has given ventorlin 100ml n omnacortil forte 4 ml. Want to know how effective is this medicine .and also as I observe my kid’s cough has decreased ,he is not coughing as frequently as he did at night.so would like to know should switch from piriton cs to ventorlin n omnacortil forte now or should I wait as he is coughing is not so often now.
