Have Swollen Tonsils And Cough. Took Antibiotics But No Use. What To Do For This?

Hi, I have went to the doctor a about 2 weeks ago and he gave me antibiotics (clorom), i had swollen tonsils and a cough.. but now i having coughing fits at night and its worse than before, also finding it hard to catch my breath from all the coughing.. I have exams at this time so i really need to be able to get a good nights sleep. However, i do not have swollen tonsils anymore. This may have nothing to do with it but the week after finishing my antibiotics, I noticed I got some sort of hives all on my arms, no where else, they would appear and then disappear. They were not that visible, it was sometimes like I was scratching just my skin and no hives. I went to the doctor there a 2 days ago and she said there may be a possibility that I have a mild form of asthma and she gave me an inhaler, only to use when I have a coughing fit. I found it to be ineffective.
