Thank you for the information,

As the secretion is thick, deep color, not getting improved by itself, most probably it is bacterial.

In case of bacterial infection antibiotics will be required.

Cough syrup alone will not help.

For prescription, you have to go to doctor.

OTC medicine will not help.

When you are still having symptoms you should be seen by doctor.

I hope this information will be helpful.

Please ask if you need any clarification.

Best wishes.
