Cough remedies for 2yo

DS has had a persistent cough for a week now, mainly at night, which has been keeping him (and us) awake. Started as a chesty cough but now seems dry/tickly. He's otherwise fine in himself.

I know loads of cough medicines for toddlers got withdrawn from sale recently but can't find details -- does anyone know if there are any left on sale? Or if not then is there anything else I can give him to ease it?
