Hi.
IF the antibiotics are not helping, the chances are that this cough is due to irritation and gives rise to edema and brown expectoration.
Please take anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory medicines too.
I would also suggest you to seek a Medical advise and investigations to rule out another causes of cough.
