HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the GI symptoms are related to the medication since this is associated with gastrointestinal side effects such as bloating.
The coughing would be related to the underlying infection, bronchitis.
A cough can continue for 6 weeks after the onset of infection even if the other cough and cold symptoms resolve.
I hope this helps
