What Causes Cough With Sinus Infection?
I had a sinus infection about a month ago, was prescribed an antibiotic but I still have this cough. Every time I start to laugh, I break out in a cough. When I drink an alcoholic drink, I start to cough as soon as I swallow. Could it be I have some residue in my lungs?

Read your query and understand your concern . As far as cough with sinus infection is concerned this can be due to common cold , viral infection , strep throat . For this I will suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for clinical examination and evaluation . Inmeantime you do warm saline gargle 2 to 3 times a day and you can take medicine like Amoxicillin CV or Azithromycin by consulting with local doctor .
