I'd suggest some guaifenesin its an active ingredient in a lot of cold medications, but you're probably going to want to find it as a single ingredient such as plain Robitussin, or Mucinex.

it helps loosen up the mucus in your lungs so you can cough it out. That way its no longer in there to irritate your lungs prolonging your cough. It really doesn't have many (if any) side effects as long as you're just taking that ingredient, and should not make you sleepy.

If you're also having problems with nasal drainage, you may want to take some Sudafed as well.

The Allegra though should kick in rather shortly to keep things from getting worse, but it may take a while to clear up the allergy sickness you've already got going. The guaifenesin should help though.
