Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
If you are still coughing after 15 days of benzonatate then consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
You may need antibiotic, Inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) according to the diagnosis.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
