For my own experience, I cough for over two months many years ago. One Chinese doctor advised that people cannot drink any types of soup (Chi or Western) when cough. After stop to drink soups & eat some Chi medicine, I recovered.
Recently, many information (also nurses in hospital) says that it should not to eat any fish when cough.
I think 余仁生猴x散 is good due to my baby eats it when having 痰 and then she become better.
