Hello,

Cough may be due to allergic bronchitis or exercise induced asthma or due viral pharygitis. Use tablet monterleukast and levocetrizine once a day for five days. Use water vapour inhalation thrice a day for five days. Avoid cool drinks and ice creams.

If symptoms not improved please consult with your physician he will examine and take chest X-ray then treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
