I've had a chesty cough for about 2 months now, my chest really hurts and i'm still bringing up mucas. I went to the doctor after the first few weeks and got antibiotics which cleared up the cold symptoms but not the cough. Should I go back to the doctor

Hello ! If your Infection has been adequately controlled with the right choice of antibiotic and for adequate duration, then you can try taking cough suppressant syrup like ASCORIL D , short of antihistamine like Tab. levocetrizine . Do warm saline gargle four times daily. Try this for a week . Hopefully your cough should subside. If despite these measures your cough is persistent then you can review with your physician in person and get a Chest x ray done. Hope this helps .Do drop in your valuable feedback
