Part 1 of the study: Change from Baseline in objective cough frequency in the 8 hours after the first dose of the day (i.e., Dose 1) on the 1st day of treatment of each study period
Assessment of number of coughs per hour to be evaluated using a digital recording device
Time frame: Baseline (i.e., Days -1 and 22) and the 1st day of treatment (i.e., Days 1 and 23) of each study period
Part 2 of the study: Change from Baseline in objective cough frequency in the 4 hours after the first dose of the day (i.e., Dose 1) on the 1st day of treatment of each study period
Assessment of number of coughs per hour to be evaluated using a digital recording device
Time frame: Baseline (i.e., Days -1 and 22) and the 1st day of treatment (i.e., Days 1 and 23) of each study period
Change from Baseline in awake cough frequency
Assessment of awake coughs per hour (average hourly cough frequency while the participant is awake based on sound recordings), to be evaluated using a digital recording device
Time frame: Baseline (i.e., Days -1 and 22), the 1st day of treatment (i.e., Days 1 and 23) and the 14th day of treatment (i.e., Days 14 and 36) of each study period
Change from Baseline in Cough Severity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score
Cough Severity is determined through the use of a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) (ranging between 0 for "no cough" and 100 for "worst cough").
Time frame: Baseline (i.e., Days -1 and 22), the 1st day of treatment (i.e., Days 1 and 23) and the 14th day of treatment (i.e., Days 14 and 36) of each study period
Incidence (percent of participants) of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
TEAEs are defined as those AEs (i.e., a new event or an exacerbation of a pre-existing condition) occurring on or after the first study dosing (i.e., Dose 1 on Day 1).
