Answer 1

One cannot name what the best cold/cough medicine is . There are many varieties in the market and they have their own specific uses depending on your symptoms.

Most syrups contain combinations which may be antihistamines, nasal decongestants and pain relievers.

.

But as your illness is for several weeks get yourself examined by a doctor.You may need antibiotics and perhaps other drugs that cannot be obtained OTC.

Pleas do not try several remedies by taking OTC drugs. Your illness may worsen.

If you gave some details of the cough, like whether having fever or wheezing, etc. I could have been more specific.

I am a medical doctor.
