Suggest Treatment For Cough And Symptoms Of Bronchitis
I have something that seems like bronchitis. I have no fever or headache, but a chest cough that doesn t seem to stop. I have taken bronchial syrup, and stopped that, and then my doctor prescribed some antibiotics on Friday, but there is still a cough. It is isn t constant, but nevertheless worrisome.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Constant cough not responding to antibiotics can be due to irritation in the throat.
Irritation can occur due to allergy.
Is there any seasonal occurrence of cough?
If yes then allergy is suspected.
A cough suppressant will be required to control the cough.
I suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment for diagnosis and prescription of a cough suppressant.
Thanks and take care
