HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Cough and cold symptoms are most commonly due to viral infection though bacterial infection can also occur.
Viral infection does not respond or require antibiotics, their overuse (not this one time use but if used for most cough/colds when not needed) can unfortunately cause resistance and therefore MRSA.

The use of the brozedex would help to break up the mucus so it can come out easily, so this good.
You can consider adding a decongestant syrup which would be over the counter at your local pharmacy.

I hope this helps
