Aussie with allergies

My husband and I took our 1 year old (50lb) Aussie to the vet yesterday for suspected allergies. He’s been reverse sneezing and coughing (seems to be productive as when he coughs he spits up a white foamy “phlegm”). They gave him a check up, no swollen lymph nodes, healthy sounding lungs. They ended up determining it was most likely allergies, and prescribed him with OTC Claritin, his dose is 1 10mg tab/day.

In January he’d gotten kennel cough for which he’d been prescribed cough tablets. There’s no name on the bottle besides “cough tablets” so I’m not sure what the actual medication is.

He’s still a little cough-y at night, so my question is if we can give him both the Claritin and the cough tablets as well.

For reference, the Claritin is given to him at 2pm and we’d give him the cough tablet right before bed- are these medications safe to give in one day?
