I've been dealing with a dry cough for a few days now and have been taking Benadryl dry cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you recommend any tablets that might work better?

I'm a bit worried because my guinea pig bit me on the finger about 10 days ago, but there wasn't any blood drawn. I've had a pretty thorough vaccination history with anti-rabies shots, like 5 full doses of Abhayrab in January 2021, 2 booster doses in August 2021, and another booster of Rabipur in September 2021. Now I'm wondering if I should get another booster dose? My guinea pig seems to be just fine and alive after these 10 days, but should I still be concerned?

you take vaccination.
