Hello,

Piriton syrup contains chlorphenamine mostly for dry cough or allergy coughing. If you have cough with mucus, you should rule out pneumonia first. If not, then should give mucolytics like Carbocysteine or N-acetylcysteine.

Apply vapor rub on chest and upper back before bedtime. If still no improvement should consult with lung specialist (pulmonologist).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. I wish you fast recovery.
