I've had this cough for a week now, and despite using medicines and syrup, nothing seems to be helping. I'm starting to get worried. Why isn't it getting better? What should I do next?

I've had a really bad cough for the last couple of days, and there's a wheezing sound when I breathe sometimes. I've been taking Rex cof syrup, but it hasn't helped at all. I did a COVID test, and thankfully, it's negative. I'm just wondering if there's any other medicine or treatment youd recommend for this cough?

tab tusq for 3 days
