HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, to me such cough and congestion could be due to some allergic condition and I would treat this case with antihistamine alone initially and best drugs would be "Tab Loratadine with Pseudoephedrine" three times in day, and this is nothing to worry, still it is necessary to get done the x-ray and blood test, just to rule out the underlying possibilities of some mycobacterium hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
