Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Chronic Cough? of 2 weeks period.
Remedy-
Reduce on Anti-tussives and anti-histaminics-
Plenty of fluids
Tab Zincovit x 10 days time.
Blood tests for eosinophilia and Stool for Ova Cyst to rule out worm infestation.
Antibiotics would not help if no relief after 5 days course.
Shift to above regime.
If no relief Review case with your doctor,Who would consult Specialist -Chest Physician-and get Sputum AFB done with IGRA blood test rule out any old TB infection in your case.
