Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history. I would like to ask both you and your nephew a few questions like - whether both of you have similar episodes in past? Do you have any symptom other than cough? Did you have fever in the initial days? Etc. If you are not having repeated similar episodes, I would first think of post-infectious cough. I would like to suggest you as follows:1. Were I treating you, I would prescribe both of you daily montelukast and levocetirizine/cetirizine and a cough syrup containing guanphensin & terbutaline for at least 7-10 days (depending upon response).2. I would also suggest both of you daily warm saline gargles.3. Please try to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. If you are having repeated episodes of similar type, I would suggest you to go for allergy skin testing, which will help you to know and avoid the substances that are causing troubles to you. Hope above measures will help you. Wish both of you a very good recovery and the best of the health. Should you have any query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Thank of & Regards.
