Regarding medicine
My father had taken AZITHROMYCIN-500 for 5 days, Histafree 120 for 5 days once a day after dinner, Brophyl N for 7 days twice a day after lunch and dinner from 24 th April, 2021 as he had some symptoms of covid. So one of my family doctor had prescribed him to take those medicines. Immune CZ tablets daily one and Zincovit 2 tbsp daily twice he is consuming till now.
Daily 3 times gargle and 3 times vapor also he is taking. Today is his 14 days of home isolation.
But till now he has still little bit problem of Coughing. Whenever he talks, he feels light itchiness in his throat and he starts coughing. So my that family doctor asks him to take ASCORIL Cough Syrup 10 ml twice a day after lunch and before going to bed.
Can you suggest me anything that is there anything else that he can get reliefe from coughing? Kindly suggest me.

What does your family doctor think your father has? To be honest it could be a lot of things and just treating the symptom of cough while the actual disease spreads in the lung seems pretty dangerous specially in the current pandemic. If you'd still just try something empirically, I'd recommend trying a budesonide inhaler, at your own risk though!
