Cough remedies for 3 year old

My 3 year old got over a viral cough, cold fever. And it's almost going to be 10 days since and he continues having an on and off runny nose and lingering cough. The cough is worse at night, which makes me think it's mostly post nasal drip cough. We're making him sleep on an elevated pillow. We're doing an ivy leaf extract cough syrup. Any cough remedies that have worked for your littles?

Aww im sorry youre going through that! Its the worst. If you have a humidifier then use that in the room. Apply some children's vapo rub to the chest. Before bed, warm some honey on a spoon and have your child eat that, it should soothe the throat and loosen phlegm.
Avoid dairy especially in the evening such as milk, yogurt etc. As these increase phlegm
