Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Allergic reactions in the form of post nasal drip, GERD are usual causes of chronic cough. Short term cough can be due to viral infection or bacterial infection. Pentids is oral penicillin which would be useful if the cough is due to a streptococcal infection. Tonsils usually regress after the teen ages and usually no surgery is required unless there are recurrent infection and enlargement of the tonsils.
You may be better with a night time antihistamine and a steroid nasal spray which would take care of post nasal drip in addition to any cough syrup for symptomatic relief.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
