Hello there,
I am dr.milan an infectious disease specialist answering your question.
Aerius is an anti-allergy medicine.It helps control your allergic reaction and its symptoms.
I think your cough is not related to any infection. It is probably because of allergy. Treatment of allergy is only avoidance of allergen.
So now you need to find what is/are the allergen. By your observation or you can go for allergy testing.
second thing you may have inflammatory bronchitis which leads to dry cough and all this. But it may have some x-ray findings which suggest for that.
So i suggest you to go for investigation and you need to visit a good chest physician and follow his instruction.
You can take symptomatic treatment whenever you have symptoms like this.
Hope i have given appropriate guidance to you.
if you have any query you can consult me anytime.
