Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

Regarding your query for chronic cough for about one month, and at the same time you had been treated by your GP by antibiotics which had given you only temporary relief and it has recurred after a weeks time.

As you are saying that there are few red spots on your mucous it indicates that there is sme infective pathology is going on. Considering all aspects of your medical history and co-relating your symptoms it appears as you are suffering from any of these-

1- Chronic tonsillopharyngitis.

2- Laryngopharyngitis.

3- Bronchitis.

4- Tropical pulmonary esonophilia.

5- Infections of lung parenchyma like- pneumonitis etc.

6- Sinusitis- Some times this also produces chronic cough.

Therefore my suggession is since one month had already passed so don't take it lightly and consult your ENT doctor or Physician for detaled examination and treatment as to avoid complications.

Regards.
