Answer
The cough could be caused by viral influenza, and it is recommended to add anti-inflammatory medication to the treatment. Pay attention to whether there is a complication of bronchitis, and consider going to the hospital for a check-up. If bronchitis is diagnosed, intravenous treatment should be considered, along with staying hydrated and avoiding catching a cold.
